Renewal

Rae….I can understand what you are going through. I can concur with Dr Lewis in that you will not regain the weight. I started the 5bd the first wk of May and by the end of May early june I had lost 30 pds. As of today I have not regained any of that weight. In fact I am going to lose an additional 10 pds which I can do in a week. It is only…[Read more]

Hey Rae…its great to see that you are back. I am with you…I have 10 pounds to lose and together we can do it

Hi Dr Lewis

I am 28 days post-op from my surgery and have decided to lose 10 pounds. However, I will do this gradually…5pds and then the last 5 pds. This will put me at 160.

I plan on losing in this way due to my surgery. After losing the first 5 I will measure myself to ensure that the fat grafting does not reabsorb. If it has not then I…[Read more]

Hi everyone

Dr Lewis, I had my surgery on july 2nd..the results are awesome. I weighted in at 176 on friday and this is due to the swelling and the fluids that was used. My Dr told me that I will be losing even more as the swelling goes down…a total of about 5 pds was lipoed.

I will definitely keep you up to date.

Dr Lewis, I love the way that my body looks and am going to lose 5 more before my surgery. I decided on this yesterday and started again. It was not dificult. Actually I found it much easier than the first time. I guess its because I know what to expect etc.

Will keep you up informed about my progress

HI everyone
Dr Lewis I now weigh 170 pds after losing 30/35 pounds. I am now maintaining but I find that after eating regularly…no snacking, no junk etc…just lunch and dinner(they are not large meals) protein and salad….that I would gain a pound or 2. I would then have to go back on the diet to get rid of those pounds.

I had assumed that…[Read more]

Thanks Dr Lewis. If I was not having my ps done I would have kept on going. The fact that I was focused and lost 30-35 before a month is inspiring for me.

I am indeed tempted to continue and lose the extra. I keep thinking about it and hey next month this same time I would be 140 pounds. However based on our previous conversation I must…[Read more]

ok I will give that a try. I will wait until the week is up and if no significant weight loss I will try the 2 bite. I will keep you posted.

I have not been cheating. I have maintained the strict diet because I have 5 more pounds to lose. NO extra calories and the bites are a little smaller than the snicker as I want to fast track my weight loss of 5 pounds. I only drink water, diet soda etc…no sugar, no cream..I have been remaining focused. Before when my bites were a little…[Read more]

Thanks… :-)I started april 4th, 2008 and have lost 25 pounds. I wish to lose 5 more; then I will increse my bites so that I maintain.

What about you?

I know what you mean. I too gave in to the cravings about 2 months ago. However I am on track but last week I did not see much weight loss. Therefore I decreased the size of my bites and have lost about 5 pounds. I have 5 more pounds to lose and I will be at 175.
I started thinking about how great I am looking, the way my clothes fit and the…[Read more]

Hi Klculmer,

Yes I know what you mean. During this time of the month I get these cravings. I had already had my last 5 bites for the day when the craving began. I tried to ignore it. I focused on other things but alas I gave in. Guess we all cannot be strong like Rae, but we would like to be I had another 5 bites but when I weighed myself…[Read more]

Dr Lewis
Basically I have not used the snickers for my meals. I only use it to know the correct bite size. I normally have a problem with gas and so before I would eat every 4 hours to combat this. I cannot do so now due to the diet and so I drink tea when needs be.

My meals for the diet consist of protein, veggies, carbs;only 5 bites . I am…[Read more]

Hi Dr Lewis
As stated in my post newbie, I am having problems with gas due to my lack of eating at regular intervals 3-4 hrs. I drink tea to combat this. Do you have any suggestions?????

Hi everyone
For me its different in regards to the times I eat. I am normally up at 4.00am while everyone is sleeping…also I am a high school teacher and my lunch and break is constant. Therefore I after awaking at 4 in the morning its difficult to wait until 1:30 to eat lunch. I drink tea around 5 and I eat at 10: when I am on break. During…[Read more]

hi shannon
Yes I eat at set times….however this is a problem I have had for a long time. If I skep meals or don’t eat at regular intervals I have gas pains to the point where it really hurts. I have been fortunate so far in that I drink tea at regular intervals, thus I have something hot in my stomach.
