That was my diet too. I am now a month out... Hurray! Getting protein from chicken and other real food now! I'm down 25 pounds but the loss has slowed. Still can't eat more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup total in a meal. This is so much better than that annoying band with the hernia I might add. Good riddance! I am down to size 16 and XL. My goal is 150 pounds. I have 47 to go. Maybe by Thanksgiving... and I sure will be thankful! Good luck and good health everyone.
