Checkin in on my fellow 17th'ers!! How's everyone doing? I been feeling pretty good. I can drink 52 ozs of fluid pretty easy now... My goal today is the big 64. I am so ready to get to pureed foods!!!!!!! One lady posted some great pureed recipes and I am anxious to try them. Im down 21 pds!

Well, i'm lucky enough to have a place that sells locally. The Intek Website does sell it, but looks like the huge canisters so it is a risk. I'd be fine with sending you a few scoops to try, but that might feel wierd, if you want to just let me know (i used to be a big seller/swapper makeup and perfume, so par for the course for me to swap things in a trusting manner lol). Anyhoo, here is the one i buy...https://buy.inteknutrition.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=6&zenid=4bed780ce4514fffa9df5aaa6ac4058a.

Spent day in ER getting hydrated again. I still have to see GI Thurs to get answers on my intake (or lack there of). However, I also have kidney stones. that maybe the cause of the nausea but not so sure of the fluid and food intake. Ill keep y'all posted! Thanks again for the prayers!

I am really getting depressed about my weight loss or not weight loss. I am losing about 2 lbs a week. It seems everyone else is dropping a lot faster.

I was 270 and now 248, not bad but not great either. I guess I am just scared it's not working, like everything else i have tried.

Hello All,

On another note, my surgeon called this am and I am being admitted to the hospital for a few days. He said I need thiamine and lots of fluids. Not just the few liters they've been giving me in the ER. He thinks that will help with the nausea too, but the kidney stones also cause me to be nauseas too. So, well see! Praying this gets me over this hurtle and that I pass the stones SOON!
