I think I remember day three or four being the worst. I had one shake for breakfast and off to work. Then I had a bar around eleven. Another shake around three and another bar around seven. Then a shake around ten before bed. That way I wasn't hungry going to bed. The times are a little flexible too. And mio and water in between.   I had to eat at weird times or it would be all gone by supper time.

Hey Kat, glad to hear that everything is going along as planned and congrats on the great weight loss, it must feel amazing.  I started my shakes today and hope that tomorrow will be a bit better.  I found myself hungry today on several occasions and being an insulin dependent diabetic I was concerned about my sugar going too low but it did not.  I just keep monitoring.  Did you find yourself hungry during this stage and if so are there any "tricks" to help this like when it might be best to have the shakes/bars??  I go back to Moncton on Tuesday the 10th for MRSA test and weigh in.  I will be so disappointed if I don't lose something.  The good news is that by the time I go down the shakes stage will be half over thank goodness.

I'm thinking about you while you start your shakes. Be all over soon!  And you'll be losing too!

Topic: Four month follow up

I just got back from Moncton...had my four month follow up. Everything is good.  I'm down 25 lbs from my last appt in November. They said that was really good. It was a different nurse today. Her name is Lisa. Rhinette said she is only there sometimes, that Monique doesn't work on Wednesday's. She was very nice. Instead of saying that I had to do certain things certain ways, ex how long it takes to eat, can only eat healthy, she said if something works for me to do it. And I said that I had treats over the holidays and she said of course, we are human.  As long as we can stick with portion control.  So my next appt is in three months. At that time they do a blood test, but you don't get the results until three months later at your next appt. I would think if there was a problem with anything they would let you know right away!
