Hi,

I'm new to this discussion board and I saw that there was a "Wish" area for those who are trying to lose weight and be healthy.

I have lost 36 lbs since August due to a hiatal hernia that I had be unaware of for 15 years now. I was put on a pre-op diet that caused me to lose 10-12 lbs in one week. It's not very healthy to be on for long term but...was given the ok by my surgeon to do this one week out of every month.

If this works, I will share with everyone but will caution you that it's dangerous if you DO NOT have a doctor's approval and you go outside of this plan.

Just looking for people to help cheer me on :) I'll post once a month and let you know my loss for the month :)

I'm excited. I finally get surgery to fix my hernia and I feel like a new person!

By the way - if you have a hiatal hernia or acid reflux PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE like I did...it's very dangerous and I'm thankful it did not kill me.
 
Congrats on your weight loss.... it is a tough time for people to lose... GREAT job :thumbsup2
