7 lbs off during 1st week of Meditrim!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the support this week, your emails have encouraged me and kept me from feeling all alone! 

Now in return I would like to share my good news:  yes, the scales say I am 7 lbs lighter!  Yipee!  I did what I was suppose to do and it works!  Amazing!!

I still find I am very cold and thirsty, but I haven't been getting enough water so I am dehydrated.  The good news is I can add Crystal Lite to my water and it will  be like getting a snack!

great job chrissy, good for you, hopefully the next few days will fly by quickly. You can also chew sugar free gum. I find that has helped ,and yeah I am thirsty too, havent had to take any insulin either, and my sugars are normal. I will go get some crystal lite, as I didnt know about that, thanks. any other tips to help me would be appreciated, starting to get headache. Was told to expect that, did you get one ? You are having your surgery on the 9th? Stay strong lol

Thanks for the support!  Crystal Lite has been a life saver for me, because I like variety and hated the taste of the Meditrim!  My daughter has been making "special tastes" for me, some of which are quite interesting!  I love her for wanting to help me.

I never thought of chewing gum, it usually makes me really hungry!  I add extra water and ice to the shakes in the blender and it gives me more to drink (2 large glasses instead of one) and Rinette (Dietician) says it doesn't add extra calories.  It usually takes the 2 glasses to satisfy me.

Not to much longer to go and Tuesday will be here!  I didn't have a headache, but I am really tired and cold, and limp like a string bean!  All I want to do is sleep.  Take care of yourself.
