If that was the case, and you were able to lose that kind of weight.. why would you have had gastric bypass surgery? Janie

I am convinced that that is a real problem and it affected by body in so many unseen ways.
Since surgery. It is a mazing of how many people really do drink pop. adn Even diet pop and notice how big epople still are. I truly think there is a link between pop and obesity. I thnk I will goggle this for a study adn bring the results back to here.

When I was on a pre-op fast for 6 weeks, I tried to drink 120 oz of water and with the bariatric food I consumed, I lost 84 lbs. the doctors have never witnessed anything like this. In fact on doctor tooko me to the scal herself to really weigh me a again. I think I lost 27 pounds in one week. I am sure it was all that diet pop I consumed.
