Hi Sarina, At the beginning (all of Dec and Jan) I stuck to the diet that Dr. Frezza provided. I was never really hungry, I only ate because I knew I needed too. I was too afraid to do anything wrong and the weight was dropping like crazy I didnt want to spoil the excitement. Probably about March I was eating things I should'nt (very little tho) but now I can eat anything I want, risking that I wont lose like I want too. I hate when people say Bariatric Surgery is the easy way out because I have never worked so hard in my life. It's all very high maintenance. If I have just my protein, cottage cheese, yogurt and water in a day, I lose a couple pounds but if I eat a Happy Meal, I wont lose for a couple of days. I'm finding the decipline to be the hard part of all this. Marie
