UNR Meal Replacement Program

I started the ins required food replacement diet on Sat 11/22.  the program is through UNR here in Reno.  The food actually tastes quite good.  I'm having trouble getting in all the required food and shakes.  This is a real surprise for me and encouraging.  I thought it was going to be a starvation type diet (based on previous weight loss programs I tried).

Well, hopefully the injections will work and we'll be able to travel to Mammoth to see my daughter and family for the Thanksgiving week-end.  I'm looking forward to it.  Well take my meals with me.  I can still have the traditional yams and potatoes, they're on the program.  I will just eat my own entree.  I would like to hear from people that have been on this program for recipe ideas and tips.  Anyone out there have to go through the UNR program.

I'm thinking about the possibility that this program will really work and I won't have to have my intestines rearranged.  Any thoughts on that???

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,  Dianne

Hey Diane, I've never heard of it, but not being hungry on such a plan is great!  I sure do hope you can keep it up so you don't have to have the surgery.  Be sure to have a healthy and sturdy plan to go to as soon as you come off of this one so you don't gain the weight back.  Learn all you can about healthy eating now and you'll be able to maintain.

Best wishes,

Mary

Thanks for writing back.  That's my plan to maintain the loss (once I get there).  The program has a one year maintainence after the meal replacement part.  They ease you back into regular foods.  If you find you're gaining or cheating too much you can just buy more of their shakes and food.

The feature I like is you can order the food from the website and continue on the program even if you move out of state or something.  My ins. is paying for the classes but not the food.  I'm so glad I have ins!!!
