  1. So many questions

    Today is day 8 for me. I'm already worried about failure. So far this has been very easy. I have not been nauseated, have not had hiccups, went back to work on day 5 and felt great, everything so easy. (Not that I'm complaining)
    I can drink large amounts of water.... 64 oz or more.
    I eat basically only Greek yogurt, protein shakes,and broth.

  3. Day 1 is almost over

    So far the experience has been very good.
    The one thing I'm not looking forward to is flying 5 hours then driving 2 hours to get home. I'll have my big girl panties on so I'll be A-OK!
  4. Going back to work 5 day after school

    My job doesn't require heavy lifting, or anything physical. I sit a lot, and walk quite a bit at work. Should I be okay?
