I have tried every diet imaginable....and yes, I lost weight, but as soon as I went back to eating with the family, I gained it back and more. I had a gastric sleeve preformed on me by Dr. Almanza on Nov. 1st , 2013. I have now lost 77 pounds and am still losing 1 or 2 pounds a week. I eat what I want, now, just in much smaller amounts. I feel like a new man! I have more energy than ever! I would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with their weight. It works!
