My first diet was in high school, and I've been yo-yo dieting ever since. You name the diet--I've been on it! My most recent one was the South Beach, and I lost 51 pounds. Then I started eating too many carbs--the story of my life. I gained back 30 pounds. Finally my PC doctor decided I qualified for the surgery I had been wanting for years. She sent off forms to the insurance, and after many hoops to jump through, I was approved. My surgeon had me on a pre-op diet, and I lost 15 pounds . Continuing on that before surgery, I lost another 6 pounds. Then the day after my lap-band, i had gained 5 pounds from all the fluids inside me. Now, two weeks post-surgery, I have lost the water weight and an additional 13 pounds. I am very motivated because I feel this is my best opportunity to lose the weight and FINALLY keep it off for good. One day and one meal at a time, I WILL do it!!!
