Hello! thank you so much for contacting me! It went well. I am walking a lot, trying valiantly o keep up with the Water & Protein protocols, sip by sip!

I am learning to follow the hour-by-hour meal and H2O planning I did wit the Dietician, so I get everything, otherwise , a lot of the day goes by and I am H2o behind, is that common at tis stage? I am a fast learner, and am in this to improve my health, so I learn more each day.

Again, thank you so much for contacting me - any words of wisdom or advice? eliz

I have Sjogren's and Psoriatic Arthritis, two autoimmune disease, which, along with their treatment, leave me immunocompromised. I am on ENBREL for te situation, which helps. But due to surgery, they held the med for two weeks prior, to my surgery -which got bumped a week, and now I am two weeks out, hence I am a month without Enbrel. Long story sort, I am always in pretty bad pain, unrelated to my surgery. On Monday I see my Ruematologist, she will evaluate me and probably restart the meds. Yippee! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Eliz

First things first. Never trust a fart. It won't be a fart.

Secondly , be ready for clothes to not fit any longer. It is going to happen fast but don't buy to much at once.

You will hit a stall but it's normal. Finally if you haven't had a bit poop yet you will and it will be mostly Water and like a gusher.

Oh and on Water I was never able to consume what they told me to consume. So drink as much as you can and that's all you can do.

I had my surgery in 2014 and it was the best thing I ever did. No regrets with the exception of I wish I had done it sooner.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
