My medifast food came yesterday. Despite the fact (or because of it) that I am sick I am starting Medifast today. I figure that I'll be home trying to get well this weekend so I won't get so tempted by food. I had a banana cream shake for breakfast, and although it was a bit watery it pretty much tasted like banana cream pie. yum I honestly expected it to taste a lot worse than it did. heh.

Sarya ~ Welcome to our warm & cozy community! Hop your feeling better soon and dropping weight like crazy!

Welcome Sarya Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you're better soon.

Welcome! Today is my first day on Medifast too. I also am taking the entire weekend off and doing nothing but focusing on my dieting (and my little boy!).

I started with the oatmeal this morning. I may have made it too think because it reminded me of cement, but I added some extra hot water and it was edible

[Sarya]

I had that shake this morning and now I'm wandering around my room trying not to think about my stomach I think you did the right thing having something with a little more oomph for your first meal I might have some oatmeal in an hour. Or a bar.

...

I shouldn't have eaten that entire pizza last night I knew better, but I love pizza so I was trying to get it out of my system. I bet my tummy is all kinds of stretched out right now.

Sarya,

Welcome, I started today Friday and had spent the past week eatting those things I would not have again.........I GAINED 3 lbs hahaha

I had oatmeal, found it VERY filling, someone suggest sugar free syrups like for cappachinos to add flavor.

Meanwhile, you go, in just 10 days you will feel so different, you can do this, 10 days is a short while, and after that you will feel so good you won't want to stop!!!!!

[Sarya]

Hello xwoman! I'm sure you are right! I am sooooo glad I'm not at work right now though. I would surely mess myself up. It has been a little over two hours since I finished my shake, and now I'm eating my oatmeal. I had hoped to wait a little bit longer, but the hunger thing was just stabbing at me. I know that the first three days are the worst, and I can see why I know my eating an entire pizza last night has probably made it worse too. Oh well. I can do this! My roommate is being a lot more supportive than I thought he would be so I think that will make it easier.

Hee--- I made Stouffer's Fettucine Alfredo and a bagel with cream cheese my last supper. Plus I had 2 glorious ice-cold glasses of Pepsi. Ahhhhh...

Oh my goodness,
Starving people Don't worry -- once you make it through the first three days or so the hunger won't be a problem I'm then saying to people "yes you must eat everything" Go ahead and experiment as you mix up the meals. We all like them different. Nancy drinks her oatmeal and I've always had mine thick with extra cinnamon and splenda. I call it bread pudding. The more water you add -- the thinner the product. I mix my shakes thin and Nancy has hers thick Remember on the first three days or so it's ok to add an extra shake. It's only 90 calories, perfectly balanced, won't throw things out of wack and just may help you make it through the day.
I'll be watching for you my starving friends. Soon that and the extra pounds will be a thing of the past.

Good post Jan! I always put two packets of Splenda and cinnamon in my oatmeal too. I don't drink coffee so I add the skim milk (that MF allows coffee drinkers to have) to my oatmeal after it's cooked with 2/3 water. It's one of my favorite MF meals! I'll call mine bread pudding too....I like that!

Hi Sarya and I'm glad you're shakin' with us!

I'm happy you've started. Like Jan said, once you get through the first 3-4 days, and things will improve greatly! Welcome! Post often! We're here to help!

My first day went ok except that I fell asleep before I ate my pudding! I'm going to chalk that up to being sick since I slept off and on during the day. I stepped on the scale this morning because I couldn't resist and I was down! I'm not going to count it because my scheduled weigh-in is on Sundays, but wow. I've never ever had that water weight loss that others have when they go on a diet. So this bodes well for MF

And maybe I'm weird, but so far the shakes and stuff don't taste too horrible. The chili was pretty funky, but I added kaboom and salt to it and it was ok. I'm going to try hot sauce next so that I can hopefully cut out the added salt. I really like the peach oatmeal! Who would have thought? yay!

Welcome Sayra!!! You are doing great! Keep it up and you'll be at your goal before you know it.

Go to the Lean Cuisine section for all kinds of recipes and way to doctor up the supplements. I'm glad you are enjoying everything so far - that is half the battle

Listen to our wise Jan, have an extra shake if you are hunger - plus if you are sick your body is working that much harder to get well and probably needs the extra 90 calories.

Good luck!
