hi-I went exactly by instructions and was pretty bored w/liquids-but was ok-Have been doing pretty well,exact the days after I get my fills are horrible-when I try to eat something solid(at the recommended time)I regurgitate frequently,but it settles down after 2-3 days.I have lost 52 lbs(yea),and exercise 3x a wk.I can still wear most of my clothes,so I don't know where all those sz.22's that drop to sz.4 after losing 50lb are getting their magic!!.I have great blood sugars and pressures now-my next goal is to go under 200(thirty lbs. from now)I am not buying too many clothes because I don't know what size I will eventually be,but do reward myself for every 20 lb.loss withsome new piece of clothing.This is harder than I thought it would be,but totally worth it.I wish you luck-and just a hint-make sure you keep your whey protein handy for after your fills-remember-protein first!!I found some wonderful flavors at the Vitamin Shoppe at Patrick Henry mall-my favorite is Rocky Road.Best luck,Mary
