SlimFast- does it actually work?

Tried it a few years ago. yes I did lose weight-@thirty pds. Then I stopped as I had a pancretitis which put me in the hospital and changed my diet idea/plans. With a pancretitis diet you MUST watch the fat count. So I looked at the Slim Fast and even Liquid Lunch...way to much fat for what I could deal with. Plus even one drink caused my side to hurt. The end product? gained the weight back twice over. Yeah if you want to lose a fast five or ten pds. sure...but be prepared for the weight to come back fast too. Sure won't make that mistake again.

Now I'm going to try just watching what I eat in the 'REAL' food world. Where you don't get sick of the same flavor or vanilla or choc. And you can feel full when you chue something.
