So today was day 9 for me and I am feeling fabulous! I think day 6 was the turning point for me - they key to gas is WALKING! My shoulder was in excruciating pain (literally wanted to rip it off) but I kept walking and using the Gas-X strips and it seemed to reallllly help! As far as hunger, I'm not really too hungry, I think I'm too excited about my "new life' and I realize that my old life was waaaay too unhealthy! And has anyone else noticed just how many commercials are catered to food...never realized it before but my gosh! It's like there's 4 food commercials to every one "other" commercial. Oh well, nothing can stop me now - I'm feeling great! For those in pain...it does get better!!! I'm down 15 lbs since 8/11 and feeling great!
