I have not used Dr Aguila....I had surgery in Dalton, GA as I lived up that way when I had surgery by Dr. Ponce (he's wonderful) and now I follow up with Dr Grossbard in Zephyrhills....he's great too! :)

My only liquid fast was one day before surgery...then for 3 weeks after. I did not have true stomach hunger too often. You will feel somewhat deprived in the liquid phase and it really is mental!!! You will be "full" MUCH faster with less food/liquid.

I eat about 1/2 cup of food per meal. It is MORE than enough most meals. If I am still hungry then I will eat another bite or so....but that's all and most of the time I don't have to have the extra bite...it's my head and I have to make sure....so instead of asking myself if I am full....I ask "Am I still hungry?" This was a whole new way of thinking for me personally.

Big meals become a time of socializing and not about the food...I eat less and talk more!! Lookout family!!! ;)

God Bless,
