Liquid diet anyone????????

Hi Dave, you told me about the Atkins shakes over the summer and I tried them then.  THose are the ones that I do like so I am sticking with them.  I think I was just sick and tired of the shakes.  I lost 8 lbs last week and hoping for another good loss this week.  I was getting awful charlie horse type cramps throughout my whole body:  stomach, legs, feet, hands, fingers...so I called Dr G and she had me had two bananas to my day.  That helped so much.  No more cramping and I feel fuller.  I use the Atkins vanilla shake, add a drop of vanilla extra and throw in a banana and whip it up.  It actually is enjoyable!  Happy THanksgiving, Dave!  Continued good luck to you........ Jules

feel free to vent-

But also just think...you are sooo close (and I am so jealous of you right now!)  this will be over before you know it!  till then- feel free to gripe!

Thanks Alexia, you are right, I'm in the home stretch now.  5 more days and I have surgery.  Happy Thanksgiving! 

I'm sorry to hear that Jules. Are you feeling better now? I sure hope so!

Hi Dawn, thanks for asking and yes, I do feel so much better.  I guess it took a few days to get used to.  THe first day was kind of ok probably because it was new.  By day 3 I was ready to scream (ok, I did).  Last night my DH was eating left over pizza and then made a grilled cheese.  He asked if it would bother me and I said no but I wanted to knock him into 2008 lol.  I was just so antsy so I cut up a cucumber and fixed it with some salt, pepper, and vinegar.  I enjoyed it so much!  It was like I had salt and vinegar chips!  Oh, by the way, I asked my doctor if I could add a veggie during the day if I was hungry and she said yes.  I never thought I'd be so excited to hear I could eat veggies!  Happy Thanksgiving!  Jules
