But before I had this surgery done the doctors told me that the best

way to lose weight is to eat 5-6 small (very small) meals a day.

That way you will not snack on junk foods and will not be hungry. So

say you wake up eat a balanced breakfast…at 10am then eat a

apple..or some kind of fruit, at lunch time have a bowl of soup (

with a few crackers), at 2pm have 4 saltines with jelly on it, at 5pm

have your dinner at 7pm have your little snack (very small dish of

ice cream)

To be honest I wish I had the will power to do it that way…but had

other medical problems and needed this surgery done to speed up the

weigh lose. It is definitely NOT the safest surgery out there since

I almost died from malnutrion and now have to have my stomach

stretched every 6 months.

If ANYONE is thinking of having this done in the future…please

please please look into it more. Plus the lap band is way safer then

this surgery ever will be. The doctors that do this surgery can

learn how to do this prodecedure in a weekend. Make sure they have

many many many hours of learning how to do this…so what happened to

me wont happen to you!!

Just thought I would share this with all of you.

Hope I am not rambling on.
