the tomato soup seems to be THE good thing for me, it is very soothing and comforting. The Hood calorie countdown stuff is awesome. The pnly trouble I have had so far was trying to push capacity to make the drinks an even 20 Gs. I went to 11/2 cups of milk (15 g) and my stomach can DRINK it, I am just miserable after. Too full and gurgly. I am surprised I can even do a cup and a half, plus the carnation, Im guessing that is just liquids and that I wont be able to do near as much solids. Going just by the liquid volume I can manage, it seems my pouch is a little bigger than I expected. Guess solids will be the real test, though.
PS cheese? what is this thing you speak of?

It's been a few years since I went through the program, but what Ethansmommy said sounds about right! Just be prepared to take notes and ask questions! It's overwhelming but just take it 1 step at a time! Good luck! (I'd LOVE to go back and do the class again, just to see what's changed! Yup...I'm a glutton for punishment! Believe it or not.........I STILL go to the support groups too!! haha)

Topic: RE: Body image

Sorry to tell you..........Mine still hasn't caught up! I still look at xl tops and size 16 pants though I fit into 8's and 6's and M-L tops. It's really weird how long it takes our minds to catch up. I'm sure others will have other experiences to share, but, so far...........I'm STILL playing catch up! (Maybe it's because I was SOO overweight for SOOO long? I dunno!!) Let me know if you figure out how to get the mind to catch up!
