Hey Mr. Ivan,

How are you doing ?

IVANinNJ · July 28, 2005

Hey, Thanks for asking.

I am 10 days out now, and everything is going great. This whole thing was easier than I thought it was going to be.

The first day was the just terrible, but by day 4 I was doing so well, I went back to work.

On day 3 I woke up with a pounding headache, but I figured out that a small cup of coffee would solve that.

My liquid phase ends in 4 days and then I can start the mushys, but I don't even care, really I am not hungry, and am not interested in food at all.

The one thing that I am really having trouble getting used to is that my sense of being full feels different, so I am trying to learn all new signs that I need to stop.

2 oz of yogurt drink fills me up and keeps me happy for 4 hours without a problem. I am so used to pouring a whole glass of whatever, and now I have to stop.

I am back to the gym and having no problems.

Best wishes,

Ira

Ivan, how are the mushies treating you? do you feel like a Gerber baby yet

Seriously, how are things going w/you at this stage.

Hugs !!!!

Things are still going great, I still am having some problem figuring out when I am full. It is more about the discipline of only putting 3 oz of whatever on my plate instead of taking the amount I am used to, or even half of what I am used to.

Other than that, still loosing.

I can totally relate to that. I'm sure its difficult to undo the habbit of filling the entire 10" plate (okay thats what I do and I go back for 2nds oy).

I'm guessing a smaller plate would help, like the ones you use under a coffee cup (notice I said cup not mug lol).

WOWEEE Guy, 25 lbs down... YOU ROCK !!!!! (who said American Idols have to be able to sing ? )
