To each it's own....When I do liquids I consume protein shakes and smoothies so I am getting in my proteins and not putting my body into starvation mode. I have lost over a 100lbs in seven months i do not know the exact amount because I am not dependent on the scale. I exercise daily and there is nothing that is preventing me from losing. This is what I choose to do!!!! Thank you for reading my thoughts. ENJOY YOUR DAY.

Lucky you!!! I have been at 200 for what seems like forever now, although it hasn't... (unless you count the time I weighed myself at my mothers... her's said 189!!!-- I really like her scale!) it is just a milestone that I am anticipating... I know it will happen. Who knows, maybe when I find out I am there, it will skip the 199 and go right to 198???? Well, Cecil... Congrats. Betcha you wish you could have bottled up that smile that came across your face when you looked down at that magical number today. ENJOY the satisfaction of this step. Kj

meeeeeeeeeee tooooooooo! I am down to 183 from 253. I got 50 to go!

I agree 100 %. Let's eat! I eat just about whatever I want, I just can't eat much. I've lost 139 lbs in 7 months and I weigh less than I have in 26 years. I ain't in no hurry. The weight will come off. I've found that even when I eat the "wrong stuff" from time to time, it does not hurt. I don't want to be in bondage to guilt. I am free from obesity and from dieting. I want to be as normal as possible. Now with that said, I know better than to develop bad habits such as snacking or grazing and I restrict the amount of carbs I eat. Cecil 338/199

To me the danger aspect is scary. I know myself... If I fail to eat any solid food for any long time period... and I am talking having a meal even an hour late, I start to feel light headed. (and I am constantly having enough fluid.) I sometimes think that if people looking into WLS read the liquid day diet... that they might deter from having WLS, as they might think that this is required to have weight loss. I felt that I needed to let those people know that if you follow your Doctors advice, you WILL be successful. Thanks, Kj
