*Sipping last shake*

Well, I did it! I made it through day one. A little harder than I thought but all in all not bad. I was a little hungry in the morning and felt yucky so I took a nap to pass the time. When I woke up I had my 3rd MR and felt better - the rest of the day was ok.

What I didn't succeed at was 64 oz of water. I'll have to work on that tomorrow. I HATE drinking water.

So my brief case is packed w/ everything I need for work tomorrow. I'm just anxious to get through the first week - my mood will be better then. I just feel grumpy today.

Congrats on getting through your first day. I was a little surprised or something during my first couple of days... but soon fell into the routine. Getting all the water in *definitely* helps.

Best wishes for the week to come, we'll be right here for you

YOUGOGIRL!!!! :cleader:

AWESOME!!!!! YOU MADE IT!!!!!! :whoohoo:

My first day was a BEAR!!!

I was so cranky & tired... I really know what you mean!! If I could have gotten away w/ a nap, I would have been all over it!! ha ha I'll just travel back in time a few days & live vicariously through your nap, is that okay? LOL

Tough this out for like 2-3 more days, at the outside MOST, and you will be feeling SO accomplished and SO much better... I promise you will, totally happened to me! :mrgreen:

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! :beerbeer:

Keep up the good work on YOU!!! :bow:

You are worth every second of it!!!

Woopsie! Was so excited for you that I left this part out... :oops:

See the giant man-eating sippie cup on my desk in this pic?:

You can pick these up at any Wal-Mart on the planet for under $5 bucks... they are 64 oz.

For me, it was a lot less threatening to sippie through one of these big boys here & there, over the course of a day, than to try to actually measure out 8 actual 8 oz. glasses. I just fill up said big boy w/ ice & H2O & sip away... before I knew it (w/in a week!), I was actually up to TWO of these guys through the day...

OH! And... there is a product also avail at your local Wal-Mart called "E'mercen-C" - ask the pharmacist (not sure on my spelling, used the last of my box yesterday!)... it's on the regular shelves, but maybe hard to find among all the suppliments & such. It's $8.95 or so for 30 packets of fizzy multi-vitamin supplement that comes in Tangerine, Raspberry & Tropical Fruit flavors. ZERO carbs, cals, etc. Just fizzy, flavored viteys. Love 'em & use them a LOT on days when I am equating the flavor of water with a metal faucet! I even put in 2-3 packets in my big gug-o-H2O to get the first one down for the day...

Hope that helps - you're doing GREAT!

Hey, BamaBabe -

I looked for the Emergen-C fizzy stuff at Wal-Mart today - I found several flavors (tangerine, raspberry, etc), but they all had sucralose and are not labelled "sugar-free". Do you get a different kind with an artifical sweetener?
