Hi. I had Dr. Spivak too, 3/29. Only been 2 weeks but the 2nd week i have been starving and really fought to loose very little. Suggestions?Are we ever allowed diet coke again? Have you tried bread? Been dreaming of them both. I have not had ANY problems other than soreness from surgery, doing some walking- I teach. Would appreciate any suggestions of filling foods because mine don't last long.
