I highly advise the atkins diet.. Contrary to beleifs people hold against it, ity actually is very heart healthy.. You need to read the book, but you could loose soo much weight, stabalize your blood sugar levels and improve your total cholestorol.. I swaer by it and can honestly say to try it before surgery.. It really works..

yea but the money you save in not buying carbs you could put to protein.. I spent less on the atkins diet compared to my usual diet.. Do the math.. You can do it…

Have you tried to control your portions? From what I have heard that is all the lap band will do. It controls how much you eat. What do you normally eat? Do you cook alot?Maybe see a nutrisionist first before surgery. Talk toyour doctor and see how many calores you are allowed to eat and start to count your caliore intake. That will control your portions. DOn’t eliminate anything and have a balanced diet is best. Just calm down alittle and breathe and set a plan of action for yourself. Write it down. Try to do whatever exercise your doctor can recommend. maybe lift 5 or 10lb weights. Do some activity you have none done before. Belive in yourself and focus on that you are not only doing it for your loved ones but for yourself too. Remember you have alot to offer and are beautiful no matter what. Good luck.

I am overweight. I watch my portions.. which I also spend less on food now.. Eat nothing different then what I ever had. In the last year I have lost 45 pounds. So stop begging for help.

This sounds like a scam, someone who wants us to send him money. I would like a lap band too but I can not afford it. We all struggle with diet and exercise
