Day 2 for me
Wednesday, July 20, 2011 11:57 AM
( permalink)
I was with a cousin over the weekend and she looked great. I asked her what she is doing and she told me about Almased. I am very excited as I am on day 2. I had a lot of energy throughout the day yesterday, but around 5pm I lost the drive. I have had gastric bypass (surgery I regret 9 yrs ago), so its difficult to consume the entire shake in one sitting. I also know that I need to eat every 3 hours. What I will do for tomorrow is break up the shakes for 3 hour intervals. I am having the vegetable broth so that has helped sustain me. I am aware why I regained some of the weight. I just need to tell when I am hungry from when I am bored. Anyway I am glad I am doing this. I have one month to focus on successfully losing 10 lbs and more before I go back into the classroom. Ultimately I would like to lose 50lbs.

Hello boomer1124, Welcome to the Almased forum! You can definitely split up the shakes in smaller intervals as long as you consume the total amount at the end of the day. You can also add an extra 1/2 shake of Almased as a snack or even 2. Let us know how you are doing Silke

Hi Boomer, today is my second day, how are you doing? I also have alot of weight to release, I don't say lose because I don't want to find it again. lol I hope we can be of support to one another, no one knows I'm doing this program and I have no one to talk to about it at the moment. Have a wonderful day.

I tried the split and it works fine with me. Today I introduced my meal and to tell you the truth I rather just drink my meal. :-) Otherwise all is well.

Hello Celticprincess, I would be more that happy to venture our journey together. However I find I cant keep my big mouth shut about this product. I will say that what I do expect out of this is for me to have better grasp on my food consumption. Need to get it under control as I love to snack in between meals. I am please to find that I don't have that desire so long as I stay busy. It is simply just taking a step back to see if I am truly hungy or is it that I just merely wish to put something into my mouth. That's where a stick of gum comes in. Well gotta hit the sack. Have a bless day/night.

I know what you mean Boomer, sometimes I just want to chew something, I have been using gum for that also. Today is my fourth day having the three shakes, I've lost about 5 lbs, but I'm not going to weigh often, I like judging by my clothes, which are fitting a wee better by the way. Today I had planned on eating my one meal, but believe it or not I don't want food.. lol WHAT?? I know, crazy talk man. I think I will just keep doing the fast as long as I can. I am determined to release this fat once and for all.

Boomer and Celticprincess- I am texasgirl (TG) and I am on day 2 of 3 shakes and day 3 of 2 shakes. Doing amazing with inches. The amino acids make me grumbly but I think it is positive. I can go about 4 hours between shakes. I have had to add 1/2 a shake about 10 pm to rest well. I am wanting to keep this program close to my chest mostly because I lost 80 lbs 4 years ago and am just now getting over the shame of publicaly losing only to regain. I know I shouldn't be ashamed but I just was. I am hoping that the meal at lunch mixed with shakes will slowly teach me how to eat again. I was very hesitant to do this. THose old feelings of "is this a rip off" are hard to ignore. But I feel very good, I am losing and I can pronouce everything in the can! Best of luck to you both. May I chime in on occasion?

After 14 days, it is recommended to have 1 regular meal and 2 Almased shakes. Keep up the good work! Silke

Hi Boomer, just wondered how your doing? I'm on the two shakes and one meal plan now, weight loss has slowed, but it's still coming off and I'm shrinking big time. 10lbs gone altogether. Hope your doing well.

Hellp CP and Boomer- Hope you all are making good progress. When did both of you start and where are you now? I am in my 2nd week of 3 a days (sometimes 1/2 or a whole 4th shake is needed!) I have lost around 12 lbs!! I have a Spicy low sod V8 in the afternoon before dinner shake but despite Magnesium and Postasium I am still having a late afternoon headache. I felt really tired today wanted to sleep the whole time but was able to workout for an hour. Turbo Fire then walking! Whew! Inches lost are great about 6-7" all over! Belly is waaay flatter. Maybe its water but its water that aint in me anymore!!! About 95 lbs to go. I think I will continue my 3/a days until I reach the 14 days mark w/ a couple of days of a healthy lunch in the mix to see if my headaches improve. Overall my mood and energy are good but seem to deteriorate late afternoon. But I can't complain! Best!!

Hi Texasgirl, I started on July 20th three shakes a day, did it for a week, then started eating the one meal, lost 11 lbs so far. Sounds like you are doing well, I'm happy with the results, weight loss has slowed since eating again, but you have to start sometime!! Can't drink shakes for the rest of your life. lol I wish it was cheaper though, I'm really not sure I can keep buying it at this point. It gave me a good start though and I really can't eat like I used too, smaller portions are all I can handle... so that's a positive.

Overall my mood and energy are good but seem to deteriorate late afternoon. But I can't complain! Best!! Hello texasgirl, Make sure to drink plenty of liquids, at least 10-12 cups of water or unsweetened tea (beside Almased). This may alliviate your headache. I also suggest drinking more of the veggie broth or veggie juice. You can drink up to 32 oz per day. The antioxidants from the veggies will fight off free radicals and therefore help with headaches. You might want to try taking some vitamin C as well. Hope this will help with your headaches. Silke

Hello celticprincess1112, Almased might seem expensive when compared to other products on the market but if you think about what you pay for a meal (usually not more than $4) then it is not as expensive as it may seem. Since you are using Almased as a meal replacement you are not spending money on that actual meal(s). Getting a healthy meal for $4 is a pretty good deal and all the benefits that Almased has on your overall health will definitely pay off in the future! Keep up the good work. Silke

It's still alot of money, I have a family to feed so really the fact that it's replacing my meal really doesn't matter I still have to buy real food, and I can't keep buying it withoout some kind of deal once in a while, that's just the way it is. Too bad Almased doesn't offer buy one get one free now and then, that would be great!!!

Hello celticprincess1112, I understand your concern. You might want to check online for better deals or ask your local health food store if you can get a discount when purchasing more. Silke
