  7. Judy & WishmeSmaller... congratulations you made it! Speedy recovery from your surgery on Monday. Mine is Wednesday and I am so looking forward to our groups success stories. Sending well wishes and prayers!
  8. Push thru.. by day 4 you will be feeling much better. You are probably dealing with some withdrawals from sugar or caffeine:) That was my worst day. Today is day 7- down almost 10lbs. Have good energy and finished all my preop testing this morning. Except COVID that’s Monday... you got this. I was allowed to take meds for the headache like Tylenol and allege but sure if you are but it did help.
  9. Emily, I am so sorry to hear that! Mine was postponed several times and it was very difficult to keep the faith and my Momentum forward. You my friend are a nurse and Nurses gave us all hope during this pandemic . Use us to pull you thru!! Prayers being sent your way!
  10. Look into peanut butter protein powder:) it is awesome when mixed with the protein shakes... may help down 7lbs in day 5 ... never thought I’d make it past day 2 after Diet Coke caffeine withdrawal.
