My day two was easier than the first. I didn't get hungry until after my workout in the evening. I hit my quota on water (64 ounces) before noon!! I kept on drinking though through the day and into the evening. Not as many potty visits though, maybe I wasn't getting enough water!! I did break down and eat a piece of beef jerky in the evening though, I WAS HUNGRY!!

Hi All: Have not been feeling very well (see story below), but here are my stats: High Weight: 303 Day of Surgery: 276.6 1/14 Weight: 215 1/22 Weight: 211 Lbs gone this week: 4 Lbs gone since surgery: 65.5 Total Lbs gone for good: 92 Had a rough week - was told by Dr's NP to taper-down & discontinue Prevacid last week. I complied. As a result I've been in some SERIOUS pain, nausea & vomiting for the past 8 days. I called the advice nurse last night who put me back on Prevacid 2X per day starting last night. I'm feeling a bit better today, but won't be totally sure that this was the cause of the pain/n/v until I've had a couple of small meals. They moved my 6 month surgiversary appointment forward to this Friday so I can actually see the surgeon. If I'm not better, then next step is a CT scan to find out what's going on. Wish me luck! Take care & happy MLK week! Charity

Monica, What an amazing job. The next six months will really be a big change! Best of luck. Heidi

Hello all! Today was a little harder for me because I went back to work. I think it was harder because of all the people that I work with. Everyone always has such yummy looking food. I have still done great and haven't splurged any. I was really wanting some crackers earlier, but I didn't give in to that want! I am drinking LOTS of water!! I can't tell ya how many times I've had to make a mad dash to the potty! I can't WAIT until tomorrow either!! Woohoo for food! I have already boiled some eggs to have ready for tomorrow! Anyway, I have felt good about his diet and haven't had the shakes any. I did have a headache yesterday from my lack of caffeine, but that's about it. Joelle, good luck with your colonoscopy tomorrow. I hope everything works out well! Okie dokie...I'll be back tomorrow night with new updates for DAY 3!! Let's keep up the good work everyone!
