My foot itself doesn't hurt but my heels hurt, found out that i have heel spurs, which i didn't have a few years ago, since picking up all this weight my heels have gotten worse, I tried pills, all types of things for the foot and heel but nothing works, I am hoping and praying that after I have my surgery and get alot of this weight off, my heels will go back to not hurting when I walk. December 30th isn't to far away and i'm anxious for my journey to begin!!!!

I'm so glad your husband is supporting you! without that, this is twice as hard. anyway what helped me is i started my diet on the weekend so whenever i was feeling weak, tired, cranky, and went through withdrawal, I was home and could lay down, journal, etc. It also helped that I have a lot of different varieties of broth. We stocked our cabinets w/beef, seafood and chicken stock, Thai Ginger broth, roitesserie* chicken broth, Mexican tortilla broth (i think swanson makes it), some kind of white wine and garlic chicken broth, etc. I also really like the Lean shakes from GNC. the strawberry ones taste the best imho. i really like that they're premade so i can grab and go. I'm starting day 5 tomorrow and honestly, i do feel hungry, but i've fought so hard for this that i keep pushing until the 23rd. I think I need to get more of the ready to go shakes, cause the ones i have to make and shake myself just don't taste as creamy and good as the already prepared ones, thanks for the advice about the broths, I forgot I can eat....well drink those as well. I need to get a journal and keep a diary as you are doing. thanks for the advice and good luck!!

Today was my first day of starting my 2 week diet, my surgery is December 30th. I did pretty good in the morning but by late afternoon, my head was killing me! I am so use to snacking on something but to cut out everything but what is on my 2 week menu is really killing me. I do find that if I stay out of the house it's not as bad, but as soon as i'm home..hello hunger pains...hello cravings!! My husband is a great support system, but he hates to see me hungry or suffering from a hunger headache...how did you guys deal with this?
