Just got back from Doc and Nut. All good. Down 41 lbs now since my original start weight. Feeling good.

One thing, does anyone else get moody or cranky, I find I am having mood swings which I did not experience previously. Maybe I am just hangry!

I am taking all the vitamins, etc. Just find I get a bit touchy from time to time.

Have a great weekend!

Hi All,

I got more than 64 ounces yesterday! Combination of protein shakes, herbal tea, water, beef broth, powerade zero and sugar free popsicles.

I had planned on going back to work Monday but not going to until I get in 64 ounces. Fortunately, I can work from home so I plan on easing my way back into it. I know if I ...

I was discharged at 7pm yesterday. So far so good. In a bit of pain but is manageable. Challenge has been getting in the liquids as it feels like it is being forced and there is still gas. Trying to move as much as possible and sip sip sip. I assume it gets easier each day. I also farted today, FYI. Best one I've ever had. Only pain med I'm taking is liquid Tylenol. They gave me some liquid hydrocodone but I don't like it. GasX strips seem to help too. My wifey made me some spearmint ...
