I have to give my good friend T2nashville a big credit on this topic…She is the one that came up with it and now I’m writing about it…That is what you get when you are friends with a blogger, we write about conversations that we have…LOL…Love ya girl…
The other night at dinner we were talking about our procedures that we had done and she mentioned if she had been told that her “Tool” would have been called a Diet she probably still would have done it, because even though she is dieting again, at least she got a nice jumpstart with her gastric sleeve. But even with ALL of the research she did (and it was extensive), no one really told her that she would be dieting again after 17 months down the road. And that’s really what it is, but we call it “maintaining.”…
After our conversation it makes perfect sense, however unlike T2nashville…If my Doctor had said that my “tool” was really a diet for the rest of my life, I don’t know if I would have gone down that route.
She also made a valid point that sometimes when we have fallen off the wagon, and who doesn’t at some point, we need to jump start our weight loss again. You will hear many of us doing this with a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then a sensible dinner..Now where have we heard that slogan before?
Weird…my quotation marks show us as code in my comment. Maybe you can edit them out?
I don’t see your comment or anything I need to edit?? But I will still have my hubby look when he gets home…Maybe he sees something that I don’t…
Sorry,

Yep, dieting is what I do now. But as I mentioned to you, 5 pounds is much easier to work with than 112! Still glad I had my surgery!
