1 week has gone by

I just past one week 14lbs gone yahoo good-bye clear liquids blah anybody else feeling hungry I can't wait to get to soft food my stomach is growling all the time. I'm feeling great very little discomfort going out shopping now.  I hate protein shakes but got to get those in. I know I'm not at the fruit stage but I'm going to blend a little bananna in them maybe it will go down better any advice for the 2nd week. I'm going to shoot the tv if I see another food commercial lol.

You crack me up!  I blend half of a bananna into my shake from time to time too and have since the beginning to make myself get more of them in. Dr Pohl didnt seem to mind,  so I wouldnt worry too much.  You're doing great Annie! Time will fly by, you'll be racing through the stages soon.

14bls lost in a week, that's great Angela!  Keep up the good work. Robin

WTG Annie!!!!!  

Way to go..... Talk to your dietician.  You might need some extra carbs.  I put a tsp of pnut butter in my chocolate shake the other day.  I know how difficult it is to get your shakes in.  I get two in but that third one just BLAAHHHH.  I don't feel hungry but bored with the liquid stuff.  Life is all about variety.  I just keep thinking about shopping for smaller sizes.  Ripping up my Lane Bryant charge card.  Walking by Torrid knowing everything in there is too big.  The euphoria rush should get you through it.  Just like commercials...it's all about visualization.  The TV is always trying to feed you or get you feel bad about the car you drive.  Oh well.....shut it off.  Read a book instead.

Great attitude beachgirl!!!  How are you doing in your recovery- any better?

Congrats on the 14 lbs lost!

Annie...So how was it really. I am going on Friday if I don't chicken out. I am pretty weirded out right about now. I t is good that Christmas has been keeping me busy or I don't think  would still be going forward. I am worried about everything, yet you seem to be doing pretty well. Any pearls of wisdom for me??

Hi please don't chicken out. This is the best thing I could have done. I know everyone is different but I had absolutley no problems. I had very little discomfort. I was hungry but get the protein shakes in it makes a big difference. But seeing those numbers go down on the scale and its 6 months away from summer (bathing suit) season I can get through anything. A wonderful attitude and determination doesn't hurt either. I hope I helped if you have any questions feel free to ask me. Good luck

Thanks for4 the pep talk. I just talked to a lady 2 weeks out and she was so exited...she made me exited. What kind of shakes do you get? Thanks again...
