I had my plication done in September of 2011. Starting weight- 268 pounds. I am now 195. I have plateaued,
however, I am doing a colon cleanse today/jump starting my weight loss.
Day 1- liquid diet and colon cleanse
Day 2- raw vegetables and fruit.
Day 3- liquid diet
Day 4- raw vegetables, fruit and soup.
Day 5 - soft food diet.
This has helped jump start me in the past, and I would love a good 6 or 7 pounds in the week. It may not work for everyone, but it is worth a try.
Its so important for us to remember that our surgeries are just a weight loss tool, and how much we use it is up to us, right?
Just like a treadmill, we need to use it in order to make it work for us. So- we treat our bodies with RESPECT meaning, no more garbage food.
We may as well be eating out of a trash can if we are eating fast food. I am not perfect, by far, and yes, I do eat fast food occasionally, as well as crap
food at home, and I am seeing that it takes me no where fast and that I am neglecting to use the very expensive tool that I have.
Beverly- If you had surgery with OCC, I suggest talking with Dr.Miranda about a diet plan. She will help you out. =) And if you are eating too much - what are you eating too much of?
