Skinny Grandma 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Very happy for you Tink. You can do it. The liquid stage passes and you get real food again. Not alot but at least its food. Hang in there it will be worth it. I lost 10 lbs in the first twelve days and will be getting my first fill Aug. 7. Skinny Grandma (Hope to be ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
