New to Ideal Protein and Forum!

  • Started Ideal Protein Thursday I was SUPER PSYCHED but freaking out a bit on day 3 and feel overwhelmed... Am I doing this right!! My "coach" is great as far as texting or calling right back but I am hoping to find some friends/sisterhood just starting as well as some PROS to help me in this journey.
    I feel like I am incredibly bloated... is this normal? If so how long does it last? If not what am I doing wrong?
    I stood on the scale this morning and it showed zero loss am I expecting results too soon? Fretting that since I am actually eating "more and more often" then I used to I am gaining -not sure if this bloat is the increased water and veggie intake.
    PS.. I also have lupus and am on several medications - any others out there with auto-immune issues and or on medications doing IP
