Ah, yes, I have seen some of those posts and honestly, they're too painful for me! It's the encouragement and inspiration I come for. Take what I need, offer what I can and leave the rest....

I still get get hungry and have cravings. I find smelling other peoples food actually helps. I can't eat it ... it will make me sick. But I can smell it. The problem with giving in to the sugar cravings, as those cravings will get stronger every time. I am finding sugar free options where I can (apple sauce, sugar free drinks frozen like a freezie) for those dessert desires. I am on soft food and starting meats now, which are much more satisfying. Chicken and swiss chalet gravy.... those are craving I can give in to. Just in very small, slowly eaten ways.

Who makes the espresso powder?

It's just like doctors. Some are outstanding, and some are terrible. Do you know what they call the person who graduated last in their med school class? Doctor

OK, but am curious by peoples thoughts who actually use one.

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm having the SIPS DS in the morning! I'm excited but getting quite nervous!

I am having the same problem. The protein drink helped calm it down but its been a struggle...I pray this ends with the introduction of actual food this week (week 3 for me). Its only 1/2 an egg and 1/4 piece of toast, tuna....but it will feel good to chew. Hang in there.this is very temporary.
