Anyone have any info on fasting and taking anti-depressants at the same time. my doc said I have to watch out for something called seritonin syndrom. she kinda scared me!!!!!!!!!!! has anyone continued with their meds while on this program and was there any problems?

:oops:

does anyone have problems with BM'S? I just started and that is a concearn of mine?

I have a sister who under went Gastric Bypass and it basically is very reduced calorie liquid diet, how does Medifast compare? From what I have read the weight loss seems to be just as quick.

I haven't started the plan yet and am only in the "informational" stage. I have about 100 #'s to rid myself of and am wondering how long a person can do the full fast for? I thought I saw 16 weeks somewhere and then you transition to the 5 and 1 plan. Is this true?

Hi,
Just want to succeed, and it seems like you are all telling me how awful the first few days are..I get my shipment end of the week, and do NOT want to get discouraged the first few days...what about an appetite suppresant, and what would work...

Another question......

I take meds for chronic migraines and allergies. I have just been prescribed two that require they be taken with food. One is Naprocin (Naproxen) which is notoriously bad for the stomach.

Do shakes count?

I have a ton of cream soup and orange shakes that I just can't stand! Is there anybody out there who would want to either buy them, or trade for something else?

The orange tastes like children's tylenol to me! The rest is great, but I just hate wasting it by not using it.

Peace guys and gals, will write more soon

Nancy,
Thanks for posting your before and after pictures. You look absolutely wonderful. You're so pretty! I read the January newsletter this morning and it was very inspiring and informative. I think it was your best one yet. I give you alot of credit for hanging in there for 7 mos. and accomplishing your goal. I had a question. How did you deal with any unexpected major upsets in your life while on Medifast? I've ...

Good Morning everyone!
Well today is day 5... for the second time. I started on Jan. 1st. the first time at 225lbs. On day 5 I was at 220lbs. I went to make a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich for one of my sons and ended up having a peanut butter sandwich myself! Thankfully Mike & Maggie came to the rescue and whipped my butt back into shape ( thank goodness for this support forum). Anyway ...

Just a comment or two. I was sitting here sipping my 7:00am shake. Oddly, 122 days into this program, I just learned about a week ago, to mix my shakes, and let them sit for about 5 minutes before gulping. This allows them to get pretty thick. I used to pour/mix/gulp all within about 15 seconds… Huge difference… Make them ICE COLD.

Here is my point:
With my weight loss, I (as you ...
