  1. My doc suggested drinking something hot first thing in the morning...that helps other drinks go down for me, but I'm the same...I rarely eat before 11 or so...
  2. Yeah, I had the .5 taken out the very next morning..he also took another .5, as I was increadibly inflamed from the entire ordeal...I felt tons better by that evening...stayed on liquids a couple days...back to business as usual now
  3. Got my first fill in 3 months today...it was only .5 cc, however, I have barely been able to drink anything, feel pretty uncomfortable...I don't know if maybe I just need to give it a day, or get it taken out...I'm wondering if it's just been such a long time that my body needs to adjust???

  13. First of all, are you getting enough calories in?? If not, your body may be in starvation mode, and holding on to everything....its an ebb an flow..i've never been a 2lb/wk person..always 6lbs one week, none the next type...lol

  16. thanks guys!!! It does feel great )
  17. FINALLY!!! Below the 300 mark!! Woooohooo!!!
  18. I take mine everyday...It's essential, as I couldn't possibly get it all in any other way...I also get in at least a protein combo shake in (2%milk, banana, eas powder, 1tablespoon pnut butter) a day...
  19. hit my 50 lb mark today!!!!! Down to 300...Excited to fall below this mark, as I haven't been there in about 8 years!!!
  20. I agree...this doc is off his rocker, and actually encouraging an unhealthy mentality towards losing this weight...the weight you've lost so far is more than enough...everyone is different, don't be hard on yourself, your doing wonderfully...don't let that $&&&$ get you down, girl
  21. LOL..I used to do the same...was too worn out from grocery shopping to bother with cooking dinner!!
