I lost that weight pronto in the HOSPITAL because of a gall bladder attack, which I am certain was prompted from the high fat content in the restaurant food. So, I have learned two lessons - I can get very sick on a high fat meal (way more than just the standard McDougall's revenge) and a water fast for two days can be a really large loss, but I don't recommend it at all!

Hope you're feeling better! I had a really bad gallbladder attack Thanksgiving '96 or '97, after having a high-fat (vegan) Chinese meal followed by pumpkin pie...it still gives me goosebumps remembering how painful that was! I wish I'd discovered the McDougall plan back then, because maybe I would have kept my gallbladder. Instead I had niggling (and more than niggling) pain for the next 4-5 years until I had it removed.

I am so sorry to you were in the hospital. I hope you are doing better from the gall bladder attack...take care of yourself and congrats on the loss this week. :-D

Thanks so much for your kind words pinkpinkycat & TerriT.

It's taking awhile to get back. I think it's all the drugs they gave me in the hospital and my doctor does as well. I really hope people read what you wrote there TerriT about the high fat vegan meal setting your gallbladder off too, so they can avoid this misery! Unless we have done this WOE our entire lives - we are likely harboring gall stones, women especially -- AND THOSE LITTLE ROCKS CAN GET US BAD WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT. FOLKS, PLEASE, BEWARE OF THAT LURKING FAT IN RESTAURANT FOOD!!!

Good for you sunbeam! Exercise is supposed to give us the same high as eating without the weight gain. I need to start exercising myself. Hang in there! AnneC

I'm up .6 lb. It was a rough week, missing my mom. But I will take credit for leaving the boxes of white cheddar CheezIts and roasted tomato Triscuits on the shelf at the store! I would have just sat at home eating the whole thing, instead I went for a walk.

My favorite MWL meal is a plate of brown rice, pinto beans (mashed up with some spices), corn, lettuce, tomatoes and lots of salsa on top. Yum! Since I went on MWL we've been having this a couple of times a week and my husband who doesn't follow this WOE loves it too.

rebecca · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 9:56 am

Thanks Terri! That does sound good. Yesterday I made a pot of black bean spicy soup. Last night I had a bowl of potatoes(purple, golds, and reds) w/ broccoli. Simple and good.

giddyupgin · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:36 am

I made the Sweet and Sour Vegetables yesterday for dinner....OH YUM!...I haven't weighed yet will do that this week at work....but I have noticed my morning oatmeal is now too much to eat..I totally cut out the sugar adding a few frozen blueberries and1/2 banana with almond milk...NO SUGAR! and I can only eat half the bowl now..that is so odd...maybe it was the sugar that caused me to eat more? anyway ...I'm doing this and sticking to it!

giddyupgin · **Posted:** Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:37 pm

5 days now and I'm down 3 lbs.....yippee!...I am just loving the veggies steamed with a "cheezy" sauce..on top of a nuked potato or not....now finally I have gotten rid of the Xmas weight gain and a lb down to boot...

Gramma Jackie · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2012 3:39 am

After a week of roller coaster weight (I check my weight daily) I was skeptical that I was losing, but I weighed this morning and was pleasantly surprised that I had lost weight.

I lost 1 lb. this week.

been bloated all week up 1.5lbs.

I am not sure what is going on, but I am clearly not doing things right. I have started exercising every day and while my eating isn't perfect, it's been pretty good. I am used to losing at a much faster rate, so this is a big challenge for me. I guess I'll have to start eating less and go to bed hungry. I am back up the one pound I lost last week, bringing me back to my original starting weight of 229.
