I think your right, thank you

I'm almost a month out and I want a drink but I'm afraid. Has anyone had a alcoholic beverage and if so, how soon and what was it. Thank you Luchianna

Hi Donna, to tell you the truth, I havent been hungery, so i have to make myself eat.. scrambled eggs w/ milk, do ok, cottage cheese is my best friend right now, I eat yogurt, about 3 times a week. in the morning I usualy have cream of wheat. Lunch the yogurt or cottage cheese, or a string cheese.. Dinner is hard, any meat item has to be real juice and tender or forget it. I had the foamies two times this week, after just two bites, not a good filling. I found Wendys chilly to be another friend.. Most of all I drink at less 2 protein drinks and 64 oz of water, and my vitamins. oh yah, cant forget to go to curves 3 times a week.. It is an everyday chalange, but Im very happy, and blessed to be one of the lucky ones that had insurance that covered most of the cost. So yes Im still on soft foods, and thats ok.. I just want to heal and maybe one day be able to eat a cheese burger lol ha ha... take care now and lets keep in touch... Edna........Bullhead City Arizona

I tried your Orange Julius mix and boy o boy, is it a welcome change. I now look forward to it when I get hom from work. Not a bad way to get 23 g of protien. I couldn't find the Tropicana Orange Aid, but I did find Minute Maid Orange Aid Light. The first day it was so so, but now after 5 days, it really does not feel at all like i'm having protien. The goo part is, the bag of the mix, has 75 servings. Can't beat that. Great value. I normally get in about 60 g of protien. Someday's even more. I know it will go up as I'm allowed more foods. I have a protien drink on my way to work and the one when i get home.

Guess what? Just added up those of us that responded and it looks like we have lost a combined amount of 372! Yahoo.... Keep it up. And remember... Don't get discouraged. It looks like many of us have only lost between 15 and 25 lbs. This isn't race. It is a healthier lifestyle. Most of us didn't gain this much over night. But we are all impatient and want it now! . Myself included. Skip the scale and only do once a week, or at minimum, wait a few days in between. We can and we will be successful.
