holy did you ever decrease the sisterhood... but more then that dang girl look how thinner you are... CONGRATS and glad to hear you are healing so well...
Hehehehehe - well, seeing as how the pictures were only taken a week apart, I think that part of the problem with the first picture was my posture, but we'll see on Wednesday at my WI. I know that I definitely FEEL like I look significantly thinner in the tummy area in the last week, but who knows... And yes, the sisterhood is smaller! The front views didn't turn out as well, but maybe I will attach them as well... I started in a DD and right now, I think I'm a B or so (swelling won't be gone for a month), but that is a size S bikini top.
I can't! I was definitely noticing it today in the area under my armpits where the drains went in. And the R one is more swollen than the L one. ;-)
Give it time and don't do to much lifting over your head. I went through this in June of last year. The best thing I have done for myself in a long long time. Worth every $$$$
test... see if i can get a picture of the bar package...
nope..dang.. try again. can anyone help... how to put the pic in the post or upload....whatever??????
When you go to "reply", scroll down below the icons and there are two buttons - quick reply or go advanced. Or, if you're already in the advanced reply option, the next box will say "additional options" - the second option in there is attach files. Click on that, browse for the file on your hard drive, attach and go from there.

Thanks - I'll remember that! Insurance covered mine, so I won't end up having to spend anything on it.
Happy Valentines Day everyone. I hope you all had a day where you felt loved.
WI #3 tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed. I'm feeling better today, that flu is a killer. At least it kills the appetite.
Is anyone else having problems eating all the veggies and meat at night? I have an IP drink when I first get off work because I am starving, and then when it's time for supper I'm just not that hungry! I am so hungry for the meat so that is all I eat.
I eat in the lunch room at school at noon, so I do eat lots of lettuce and fresh veggies there. The cooks even put cider vinegar and olive oil out for me.
Do I have to eat all the veggies at night too? I also have an IP drink before I go to bed. I have lost consistently, but I'm not following it exactly any more. any thoughts would be appreciated.
mamarix- i have the same problem. i tried to eat my coleslaw today and had one bite. i couldn't do it. so when i got home from work i had the spinach smoothie you guys are all to afraid to try. 2 huge handfuls spinach, one scoop vanilla pp. water and sweetner to taste in the blender. veggies down the hatch. i tend to have my favorites tho...asparagus, roasted zucchini, cucumbers. i really was surprised i that when i did the stuffed bell peppers the second time i went off track and just made a goulash of ground beef, tons of chopped celery, mushrooms, diced peppers, tomato sauce and seasonings. veggies almost outweighed the burger but i got in a good serving of veggies that way and i actually liked it.

mrs b.- so great! and your tummy looks so nice and flat!
Sick of being stuck
Official weigh in tomorrow! I hope to heck that I have lost more than a couple of ounces. I am getting very frusturated, the funny thing is I can't quit I am obsessed with losing more weight and this is the only thing that has ever worked for me but if the lbs. don't start dropping soon... well I guess I will wait and see. Fingers crossed while drinking more water!
I'm holding good thoughts for you! Looking forward to hearing your update tomorrow.

Yes please post your thoughts on the products! $11 a box? Fiber?? Nice.

I don`t go over on the oil, I don`t think. Just a little discouraged and really want something good to eat! I`m roasting broccoli, so maybe that`ll help
Hang in there! Inches lost is still a loss! I don't quite get the math myself so I'm of no help there. Keep after it and I know next week will be your week!

I think the nutrition facts are fine where you left them, but a picture of the actual item would be good too!

OMG the Spinach smoothie sounds disgusting! Are you serious? I'm sorry, I just can't imagine! Can we have tomato sauce? I'm still in Phase 1 and I don't think tomato sauce is allowed. Sometimes I get so confused.
here is a link to the protidiet peanut butter smooth caramel crisp bar wrapper... can anyone get to it?

I saw it! Thanks so much for that!! I will have to switch to alternatives soon as my allowed savings withdrawl for this program is almost gone. I really didn't think this was going to work for me as I have failed with so many other diets in the past. Murphy's law I guess, the one that does work breaks the bank!!
