The results are in.....

Well you all know I was kicking myself in the butt earlier this week about the weight gain and Blane I and did a 3 day liquid diet (with the exception yesterday for lunch I had a very small grilled chicken caeser salad). I am happy to report this morning that it worked ....scale says......122 lbs. So for me yes it worked, a total loss of 6.3 lbs, I am so excited and dedicated to make good choices. With the holidays upon us I know there'll be challenges but if I just remember how important this is for me and remain focused, I'll kick those carbs to the curb. Ok, I better get ready for work, lol. Talk to yall later. Hugs, Dana Lap RNY 2-21-05 260/239/122

Good for you!!!! It's good to see we can regain control if needed and make this work again! I've been maintaining well so far, a short time only, but I keep a check on that weight every morning as I have been getting a little too brave lately, especially with sweets! Yes, with the holiday season upon us it's time to try hard to keep everything in perspective and make good choices - most of the time anyway! Looks like you have a good handle on things, I'm glad for you!!! Take care!!

oh you inspirational little peanut, I'm so happy for you!

Hey Dana, Did you do full liquids...protein shakes, yogurt, puddings, cream soups...that sort of thing? I've gained about 4 pounds that I want GONE before it gets out of control!!! Cindy

Cindy, I did 3-4 protein shakes a day, water, crystal light, broth, s/f popcicles (limted to 2) and s/f jello....so really just clear liquids. I feel so good today mentally and back in control. Good Luck! Dana

GREAT! Good for you. Susan Lap RNY 3/23/06 5' 3 3/4" 242/231/142/140

That's awesome Dana! I'm glad it worked and I know you're probably feeling so much better mentally! Tracy B

I am jumping into the -liquid diet bandwagon- also... My goal... do a liquid diet for today and tomorrow. Weight as of today- 144.

Sounds great. I just emailed you Dana regarding this very thing. Sounds like it worked great for you my only questions is how often did you eat and how much? you said you only had 2 s/f popcilcles a day. How many jellos and how much soup? What kind of broth did you use and what kind of protein drink and how many times a day?
