Hey guys, with the Metamucil, can you take the tablets, or does it have to be the powder that you mix in water...cause I can NOT do that,

Wow chatting bunch today.

Ok - Who ever is having the problem with the pills - take them with some soda pop. In Michigan we call it pop - some people call it soda. Bami where are you? Anyhow - DM is a nurse and she says the carbination in the pop opens up the throat and the pills slide right down. Good luck!

Laurie - I always thought you were supposed to add a little water to help it melt? I threw my cookies away. They were soggy. You are right - calories play a huge part in this. I've been cutting way back on my meals and I'm hoping for a good weigh in. I was holding water this weekend because all of a sudden I'm in the bathroom every 1/2 hour.

I take the Metamucil tabs. I take two before every meal. I actually by the Rite Aid brand of tabs. They work great and no crappy liquid to drink. I had to work up to the two. I started with one before dinner - then one before breakfast - then one before dinner and finally worked my way up to two before each meal.

Laurie - Just out of curiosity - where do you try to have your calories for the day? I just ran mine through fit day and I'm at approx 1500 for the day and I consider it to be a fairly OP day. Let me know cause I'm curious. Is there a guideline from SBD that says where we are supposed to try to be? I've read all the books (except the new release).

Anchor...A lot of peeps call them cold drinks or coke. A coke can be anything carbonated. lol If you want something different you better tell 'em.
What if you don't drink carbonated beverages then how are you supposed to get them down. I hate swallowin pills that is why I drink it which is not an easy task either! I would rather take a pill. I have heard that the powder is better for you and has more benefits...has anyone else?

Hey!!!

I had a little off plan adventure last week. I told you I was afraid of Phase II..well I guess it wasn't awful bad...Thursday I had 2 glasses of wine, but Friday I had 4 and then a Mallocup candy!!! Yeh..so Saturday I felt like crap. I've been back OP and okay!

Mamaeli: do you work with Middle Schoolers? It sounded that way! I work with 6th graders!

Have a good week y'all!
