I lost 5 pounds in 4 days, then stayed the same. My day 5 was Sunday, but today I got on the scales and it has bounced back up by 2lbs again upto the same weight I always seem to settle at. I was so pumped at getting below it finally, but I refuse to let the numbers dictate my emotions today. I WILL continue to eat right. I'm a bit concerned about you staying on liquids for that long. I think I may do one day a week on liquids, then eat 'right' the rest of the week. You've done fantastic to lose 6.6lbs already. Its' so frustrating being close to normal bmi but not there yet isn't it. If I take todays weight I've got 15lbs to lose to get to normal bmi. I've never been normal in my whole life, so it will be such an accomplishment. We CAN get there Diane, we just need to keep our eyes on that goal.

Yikes!!! So how have you done on the plan. As a post-op, when I transitioned to mushies from liquids, soft meats from mushies, etc, I would hit a stall for a few days and then the weight loss would pick up again. Has the weight loss continued for you thru the rest of the plan? Like I was telling Trish, I am going to stick with the liquid part for awhile. I'm now 10.2 lbs from a normal BMI and have dropped 6.6 lbs in the last couple days. I would like to go on liquids til I hit 159 or October 23, whichever comes first. I just can't believe that I am not really hungry. Just tells me that I have been eating way more than I should have. Diane

Aghhhhh................my hair loss had really slowed down, but over this 5 day plan, boy it was coming out in handfuls - well not quite that bad, but it was like the early days again. I hope it stops soon

Well I didn't even make it through day 1 of the 5 day plan...I ate 1 meal of su****hat day...not very much but I still did it...lovely DH kept talking about food all day long. I made it till 4:00pm then he just stopped in at the sushi bar for a snack. I managed to not eat anything else except protein shakes so I was not that disappointed overall. Then comes Sunday...I was on trac****il the phone rang and everyone wanted to get together to watch football...at a bar of course...quesadilla, chips & salsa, wine...etc... Well it really made me not feel well at all. Our pouches are funny, cause I did really notice that since I was putting less into it, even for one day I felt much more full and sick after eating that crap. So, what I have decided is that I am going to modify the plan. I was pretty comfortable eating 1 meal per day and then just protein drinks for the balance. I think that will work better for me. I was concerned because I work out almost everyday and I just don't have the energy to do so without food in my system. Am I just making excuses to be able to eat a meal? Maybe, but I know for sure that I was kinda loopy without food and there was no way I was gonna go run feeling that way. I managed to lift weights but did feel a bit dizzy. I am disappointed that I don't have the mental strength to do it but... I applaud all of you that can stick to the program but I think in the end we all need to find our way. I think my pouch does need to rest and maybe one smart meal a day will do the trick. Keep up the good work, I look forward everyday to hear how you all are doing?

ROFLMAO I can see some things are gonna change around your home - Granny's gonna get it sorted
