Anyone else starting the liquid fun with me this week?

I'm on Day 13! I really haven't been hungry at all. I had one episode where my stomach growled and I just ate a little bit of sugar free Jello. Herbal tea and broth also help. It sounds weird but they are "comforting".

My advice is to constantly drink all day, even when you are not thirsty. You want to keep your stomach "full" at least the first few days, once you get used to it, it won't be so bad.

This is great advice as it's what my nutritionist advised me to do. Make drinking habitual and don't wait until your thirsty, or "it's time" to drink. Have some form of liquid with you at all times.

That's exactly what I'm doing! Lol I have a 24oz Starbucks cup and I'm continually sipping from it....when I start to feel a tad bit like I might be hungry I take a few long sips to help tide me over for a bit. So far so good!!!!!

Yeah basically if you wait until you are thirsty of hungry it is already too late. You want to never be thirsty or hungry.

Precisely.

Sipping tea with lemon makes a big difference.

ice pops!!

Doing very well! I'm not hungry at all and I weighed myself last night and I am down 4 lbs since Jan 1st !

So super happy about that and motivated to continue!!
