I have made it through 2 whole weeks. I'm down 16.5 lbs and I am feeling really good now! THe added protein was a godsend! I did 2 wks of liquids and now I'm on mushy foods. I have been enjoying mac&cheese a lot! I am so scared of gaining weight back and will be happier once I get my first fill (in one more wk). People are noticing the weight loss I started exercising tonight and feel good about that! I will start with my personal trainer on Thursday (doing 2 days a wk with her and the rest on my own).

Hi hun I am 1 week out and not too sure my doctor said mac and chees were on my mushy list how are you handling that and has your energy come back? Let me know you are just ahead of me adn I would love to hear from you. Andrea

Is a personal trainer expensive? where do you find them?

A personal trainer can cost anywhere from $40 to $65 an hour....its about 300-400 a month. If you belong to a gym they have them there, or you can look up for ones that come to your house, but those are usually a lot more.
