:rolleyes:okay so i am still kicking and have lost most of the swelling,yippee!!! still have muscle soreness in neck, back and legs(nurse is getting back to me on it)...Yesterday was fun, i find myself ready to start baking for the holidays and find if I use the sippee cup(without theat lil plastic thangy) i can get most of my fluids in and hopefully i am getting all the protein. I find that i can't commit myself to any goals for fear of failure and can't wait to start doing more things with my girls. I go Dec. 5th for the first visit and am kinda nervous. I don't want to loose this weight very fast, yet I would like to at least notice something, this morning I am down to 313.

I am also on day 5. I feel really good physically but it is hard to get in all those fluids. I am at 330 and hope the journey goes well. Why are you nervous for the visit? I am using protein powder and am not physically hungry but feel mentally deprived of my favorite foods. Hang in there and do your best to stay strong :thumbup:

oh i don't know really but am kinda phobic of needles, guess i picked the wrong path on thaat one,huh...i don't fell deprived really just overwhelmed by all the fluids, i think it is cause i have to keep track and it seems like sometimes drinking is all i get done. i think u should do well u sound kinda like where i am also. i will stay strong and best of blessing in life for u too.
