The 1st 2 weeks were rough for me. I also had a hernia the Doctors had to fix. So I was in a little more pain then most. I was starting to regret this whole thing. I just started on phase 2 now. I'm feeling a lot better about now since I just found out I lost 25 lbs since surgery 2 weeks ago. I lost 26 lbs before surgery on my own. Exercising and counting calories. I'm down 51 since July. My Doctor said that was the most they have seen. Feeling excited to keep up the good work!!
