Well- I already had my gallbladder removed after having my first baby (commonly happens after pg) but anyway I am not worried about losing weight fast I am worried about losing weight. Actually I have had 3 dr's tell me I will have to get below 800 cal/ day to lose weight. But I am hoping if I stay very low carb and with the band- I may be able to lose weight I just think I am going to have to steer very clear of carbs b/c of my insulin resistance. Hopefully the band will make it easier b/c I am hoping to feel full after I eat my protein and some low carb veggies?? I know generally speaking very low cal diets can put your body is starvation mode-- but we are not talking about a normal body make up here due to the endocrine disorder. Jill |
