I am doing reaserch for anything that will help aid the weightloss before I am even able to talk to a surgeon about the bypass.My Dr still refuses to speak with me about it,the nutritionist says I do NOT need to take anything but im sorry,even with eating a low carb,low fat diet,im still going to need a little bit of help.

I am again revamping my menus so its more managable that I can tolerate and not this 1 egg 1/2 toast crap.I wind up being sooo hungry even if I have a snack 2 hrs later before lunch.So anyone hear of it?Try it?I will ask the nutritionist when I see her in a week.

I have not heard of the tea, but I did the optifast pre-surgery (stuck to the plan for religiously) and had good luck.
It was recommended by my surgeon. Here is the link: Metrobariatrics - OPTIFAST

I heard of it and bought some and found it tasted awful: basically dust... but maybe that's just me.. I am sure I am going to miss caffeine... but I am praying the lost lbs will be the "lift" I need.
