    I left the hospital weighing 7 pounds more. I was crushed. It’s the liquids they pump into you.. it will come off.

    Right after surgery I set an alarm for every 16 minutes and drank a shot glass; 2 oz. even 7 years out; I can only chug 8-10 oz of liquid. I try not to get to the point where I’m dying of thirst.

    I had cravings for pizza at that point. I added a spoon of marinara sauce to cottage cheese and microwaved it for a couple seconds. I also had refried beans with taco sauce and a little melted cheese..

    I knew this was the only way to get my life back. I was so nervous I nearly left the hospital. Got to the OR and said it’s not too late to run! I had failed every diet I ever tried. it truly is the best thing I ever did for myself. you can do it. Look forward to the losers bench!!
