I am 6 weeks out and at 3 to 4 weeks I was having a problem with head Hunger. I ate cause I wanted to not that I was hungery. So I changed my diet to this. Protein shake @ 6 a.m ( I am a early bird) Walked 2 miles and then ate Egg beaters with cheese @ 9. Lunch was a South Beach Meal Protein Bar. Snack at 4- Cheese Stick. Dinner is a meat and one veggie. And on the days I could drink my 64 oz of water, I am not hungery. I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I feel great and tomorrow go back to Doctor for my first appointment. I am not looking for a fill. This doctor will not, if you are losing. Hang in there, it will happen. I still have no restriction, but I am still losing weight.
