I consider it a fad diet for those who have had weight loss surgery.

I am of the same opinion.  Some people use it to reset their intentions.  I see it as a "crash diet" for RNYers.

Yep, a fad diet for RNYers that doesn't "test" anything...

I have ranted against it a NUMBER of times.  Here is one of them:

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

Thanks Lora.....i had heard people talking about it but I really didnt know what it was. I think we all have been around the block with fad diets before we had surgery.

 Yep, and look where those liquid (and other) diets got us... into the operating room to have gastric bypass.  I don't understand why people think "dieting" will work any better AFTER a RNY than it did BEFORE it.  Plus, it "undoes" some of a person's confidence in, and reliance on, their eating habits to maintain their weight.

Thank you for responding. I can see why people try this. Maybe they are concerned that they stretched their pouch... I am trying to just get back into almost all protein & stop snacking. God is it hard. Baby steps...
