HI everyone!!!

Hi everyone, I am finally feeling a bit better everyday and I thank you all for your support when Iwas sooooo down. I was hurting so badly!!! NOT having a pity party, but true pain since I couldn't take the pain meds. I am happy to report that I am doing MUCH better....everyday gets easier...I am able to drink a little more each day. I am having problems with EVERYTHING tasting sooooooo sweet...even the sugar-free popcycles...even the homemade 1/2 propel-1/2 water frozen pops! I found that chicken noodle soup broth and hot tea are very welcomed into my system! I never knew broth could taste so good! I am happy to report that within 12 hours of my last post...I lost 6 pounds and today another 5! 11 pounds so far at 5 days out. It would be great to see 15 pounds gone by my first visit! But hey, 11 is great too! I hope everyone is doing well and I'll update you all soon! Laurie P in Pensacola!!!

SEE, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! You will find your palate changes and things dont smell good like they did before too. I still cut Crystal Light with a lot more water than recommended because it is just too sweet and other things I just cant have more than one bite because they are too heavy or too rich. I just see it as a "built in regulator" for my body to keep me focused on what I should be eating versus what I want to eat. This journey isnt easy, especially in the beginning, but it is well worth it and you will be feeling so much better a week from now and able to tolerate a bit more. Hang in there! Amy -180lb.

Laurie, I am so so happy to hear you are feeling better! Just think after a few weeks you will feel so much better. You will be able to enjoy your life so much more. God bless and keep up the good work!
