I agree that a liquid only diet is too extreme. It can really aggravate health conditions, you MUST talk to your doctor before doing this.
I discussed with my doctor altering my calories and she would NOT agree to decrease them under 1200. She said there were too many issues medically that could trigger. Just passing on my doc's statement from Monday, so it is recent info.

Been out for a while and need to read up on all the posts here. How has everyone been doing?
Ya'll have a wonderful, blessed day.

Missy, yours is a little more because I have the perfect border fabric for your skinny quilt. I sent it on for you.
Irish- yes, I am one MEAN boss! Get to it, girl!
Yes, our vet requires they stay a minimum 24 hours, and more like 36. I appreciate that. She will also stay there Friday night when I have to be gone overnight. I don't want to mess up her stitches and we don't have a crate at home. DH won't let me get a crate, either.
I don't think we'll miss the sunset, all the rooms face the lake and the exposure is all glass in each room. Headed there now!
I love Ruby Tuesday. If you join their website they email you coupons. 25% off coupons!
I had one but it expired on 9/10/11. Rats!

I hesitate to give what could be construed as medical advice on an open forum because I have absolutely no qualifications to do so, but it's hard to be quiet if there's something in my experience that could be helpful to another.
I'm changing my eating plan again. Low carb didn't do much, so I'm going back to my favorite - carbs in the AM and low carb in the PM. I will reread my book on that to refresh my memory. That eating plan doesn't feel like a 'diet' and is more satisfying to me. As soon as I'm done here, I am making some rice pudding. Rice for carbs, eggs for protein and a low amount of brown sugar, plus vanilla and spices.
Xylie, I don't mean to ignore you, but I can't endorse a liquid, no meat diet. Smoothies for breakfast and lunch with meat and veggies for dinner is doable, but not just juices and smoothies unless there is a medical reason. Dr Oz had an article in the August 1 Women's World that outlined that plan nicely. I could scan it in here - it's only two pages, if that's admissible under copyright laws. IMO, once it's published, it's fair game, but I could be wrong. My library carries WW, so back issues are there, but I do happen to have that one. I can post the recipes, but it'd be better to read it all. Any thoughts on the copyright of a consumer magazine??
Okay, rice pudding is going on and the dogs and I are going out. See ya.
Edit: You can get more Ruby Tuesday coupons online. I have a free burger w/ 2 non alcoholic drinks for me. I will have to put K's drink on my bill, then I have a 25% anything off for her to use. The first one is from my email, the second from the website.

Okay, so today is the big day. I take my nursing license exam in less than 2 hours. Years of work is coming down to this one moment. I have studied everything I can thing of but it is just to much to possibly cover everything.
In all my studying I have managed to actually go down in weight instead of the normal stress eating that I normally do.
"Just try to relax and take my time."

Well, the weight loss is slow, but getting there. At my doctor's appointment it was official - 21 pounds down since last March. So, now I have to reset my counter for another 6 month loss.
Another huge plus is that my A1C is down. The doc even lowered the med amount! :thumbup: So, even though the weight is coming off slowing, there is a positive.
