Add another alumni to the 1/6/05 team I went to the doctor yesterday and was down 11 pounds from where I started, and 5 from discharge on Monday. Today I started on pureed food, and after 2.5 weeks of liquid IT TASTES SO GOOD. I am still working on my water, and protein, but I know that will come. Is anyone else having trouble with sleeping? I can't seem to sleep more then 4 hours at a time and then need more Tylenol. At least that stuff won't make me goofy(er).

Hi Honey Im glad you are doing so good. And yessssss I can't sleep more then 4 hours, but not because need Tylenol, actually Iam not using any pain killer, but every 4 to 5 hour if I don't walk for at least 5 minutes I start with a horrible gas pain. Other than that Im doing good. In the water intake I need to work on that, for the protein intake I have that cover. Im using Liquid protein (12g per ounce) 2 times a day and my atkin milk ( 8 oz a day- 12 g protein) and 1 slim fast low carb (20 g protein) My DR ask for at least 55g protein a day. Some time if I don't finish my slim fast I just take one more ounce of the liquid pretein and thats it. Good look dear Keep in touch Vanessa -21
