8 weeks in a few days and I'm becoming hopefull. The gagging phase is just about gone. Food is going down in larger quantities and the variety is improving. I still can not abide the protein drinks and view them as medicine...when I drink them, which isn't often. I am concentrating on getting in all my water...and protein choices in my food. I probably am up to 35-40 grams of protein daily. Taking my vitamins religiously.

Still have pulling under the skin. A little uncomfortable, but certainly bearable.

Have lost 65 pounds since Jan...50 of those pounds in the last 7 weeks! Amazing! And I just cleaned out my closet...all 3x and 4x gone forever to local charities. I'm in 1x now...ohboy, ohboy, ohboy!

Burned my bridges! It was cathartic!
