Fortunately, or unfortunately, I've found a "plan" that really works...... Diverticulitis. It hit me at a gig right before Thanksgiving, I finished the gig, thought I had constipation (really, really screwed with my lower back), but was headed to see my folks for the holidays , so I didn't pay too much attention to it.

So I got to my parents house, and was just miserable.....needless to say since Thanksgiving, I've been hospitalized twice, and had 4 trips to the ER (the pain was unbelievable), and am probably headed for surgery within the next few years, if it keeps coming back

The end result (I'm still getting over it), is that I've dropped 40 lbs since Thanksgiving (280 to 240). My blood pressure is way down, and my lower back is not nearly as chronic as it was.

So, I "highly" recommend the Diverticulitis diet (please note I'm being as sarcastic as possible)!!!! I did want to lose weight, but not this fast, and not under these circumstances......but it has started me down the road to better things
