I made it through my first week with BanDiva and I'm officially down 10lbs on my scale with a whooping 6lbs on pure body fat GONE Buh-Bye! I can't really tell physically that I have lost weight, except for the fact that my girls aren't filling up and spilling over my bras. I still have a lot of swelling and bloating in my abdomen area, is this normal?

I must say that today was much better than yesterday. I went to the gym this morning, and graduated to an incline with speed intervals, it got my heart rate pumping, created a little muscle confusion, and resulted in an uptick in caloric expenditure. I debriefed my lil' mission with a relaxing, HOT 15 minutes in the sauna!

My hunger contained itself better than yesterday. I increased my protein intake which prolongs satiation. Not that it was completely sustained, because I'm hungry RIGHT NOW! I finished two protein shakes today, and had a Popsicle and one of those distasteful protein shots, it tasted like I was drinking liquid, orange flavored meat, but it has a whooping 42 grams of low calorie protein, no sugar and no carbs. They're about $2.99 each.

Also, anyone tell me, how long does the left shoulder gas pain really last?? I mean I didn't think I would still be feeling it like this? I pop gas pills, walk, move it around, massage it, and beg it to stop hurting, what gives? I am open to receiving any advice to get rid of this pain. On a positive note, my scars are healing very well. I can barely see three of them, the other two largest ones are sealing up nicely as well.

Well that's all that I have for tonight, I guess I'll go to bed and dream of what it feels like to chew again!

Happy Travels
