It's almost bedtime & I've made it through the day. woohoo. I did feel kinda " gotta have food" a time or 2 but stuck w/ it. I had 4 protein shakes today. sf pudding, sf jello, hot tea, lots of water. I'm just thrilled that I've done day 1 . good luck everyone. Brenda

I am thinking about doing this also.  My question is do you or anyone else work full time?  I was wondering if I would feel weak or bad at work.

I work full time. I brought my protein powder and hand blender to work with me. I have a fridge and microwave in my office so I have it easier than some. Good Luck!

I work a full time job,I have very odd hours. 6-9AM then I'm off from 9-3PM then I work 3-10PM.  plus I waitressed today. I didn't feel lightheaded or weak. I drank the protein when I felt empty. I never do feel hungry just empty. If that makes sense to you.

I have made it! I think I will go to bed early though to keep temptation away! I added up the calories and was surprised to see they were so high! I know the idea is to reset the pouch, not calorie count but it was still surprising. 12 oz Protein Drink     160C   40 GM P  Bioplex Whey Protein Chocalate Protein pudding          130 C  25 GM P  Forgot the name; smelled bad and tasted only fair Chicken Broth               35 C    3 GM P   forgot how good broth can be! Cream Chicken          130 C    4 GM P   Campbells Soup at Hand 8 OZ protein Drink     260 C    40 GM P Lean Dessert Banana Cream Pie; this is the best ! Cream Tomato          350 C   10 GM P I used evaporated milk; did not look at the calories until after Crystal light w/P            90C   23 GM P Fuzzy Navel SF/FF pudding             80 C     4 GM P missed my whip cream I was hungry at times so I would have whatever to get rid of the hunger, I hope for less tomorrow! I never felt like eating except when making my daughters dinner; she had brown rice, baked chicken strips and peaches. The chicken was begging me to take a bite but I told it no! Good Luck everyone! I forgot I am having dinner with a friend on Wednesday before our support group; I think I will suggest Denny's so I can get scrambled eggs w/ salsa.

Hello! I live in Gig Harbor but work in Tacoma; I am a nurse manager .  We( I have a 7 year old daughter)  go to the Fircrest Pool in the summer! I love the park as well. We looked for a house in Fircrest three years ago but could not find what we wanted so did a little updating and stayed in Gig Harbor.

It's 10pm and I made it through the day!!!!! Whew, it was easy until dinner time, then it got hard. I was serving out my kids doritos and I wasn't tempted to eat them, but WOW, did I ever want to lick my fingers!! ROFL But I was good and washed them right away instead.  I did 3 protein drinks and 3 sf puddings, lots of water, ice tea and to go sticks (probably over 110 oz)... calories suck at 735, are we suppused to be that low??? Protein was great though at 78 grams.  Boy - are ya'll getting "cleaned out" with this.... OMGSH, to spending a LOT of time in the bathroom!! I was having problems with bloating and being backed up - NOT any more. LOL  No other problems for me though, tomorrow is another day!

I am sooooooo glad that I have made it, through day one. I had two protein drinks, 64 oz. of water, one sugar free pudding, one sugar free jello, cream of chicken soup, and cream of mushroom soup, one snapple. I had head hunger, I couldn'****ch advertisments on TV, or look at the grocery adds without cravings. But Thank God I made it. Best of luck to the rest of you that are waking up and starting again tomorrow.

I CAN do ALL things through Christ who strengthens ME.
