Re: Days 2 and 3...............

April 17, 2003

Good morning all - It is now a little after 1:00 a.m. in Idaho, and I

have completed day 3.

I am feeling wonderful, and I think I will continue for another day or

two - no head

hunger, no headache, etc. I have gone the

'cold turkey' route on this, as it is easier for

me - just water, protein, vitamins. I can tell

that I have lost, from the way my clothes fit -

but as of yet, I have not weighed. I was just

17# from my goal, and then I gained 13#. I

needed something to give me a 'jumpstart',

and this was it, I'm happy to say. Once I

get a mindset to do something, I am able to follow thru on it - for me,

it works.

Congratulations to all who did this in all or

part. We each know our own physical and mental make-up, and know what

is best for

us, and I feel that each one of us is a

'winner', so to speak. By the way, I had my

open-Rny on 12-27-00, going on 2 1/2

years ago. It is nice to know that the tool

I have been given is working well - now I

plan to move forward, and make my goal

of 135# - hopefully over the spring and

summer months. My very best to everyone.

Warmly, Joannie

Nope, I've been doing the flax meal, too. I do drink chocolate shakes, too,

but I always have. So, I'm thinking it's the protein...or maybe just the

lack of fats?

Good morning Grads,

Well, Day 1 wasn't too bad, protein shakes all day, then a couple of

spare ribs at night. Day 2 was OK, too, shakes all day and a chef's

salad for dinner. The problem was I ate a rather large portion of

the salad, but it was just so good. Day 3 was fine until dinner,

then me bad. I had salmon and, yes, some angel hair. I didn't cook

it, it was take-out, the pasta came with it, and I ate it. But,

tonight, I will cook, and if I have carbs, it will be in the form of

veggies. I did lose 3 pounds, wish it was more, but I'll take what I

can get.

I must admit, it amazes me at how honest I can be with you guys. In

the past, I would have neglected to mention the pasta if I was

reporting to someone. You guys are the best!

Hugs,

in NJ
