Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm determined to lose weight in an effort to help my liver (which has fatty deposits) so that it can tolerate the miracle-meds I need to treat my PA. See below for original post. After 10 days of paying close attention to my diet, I've lost 7 pounds. I imagine this is mostly fluid and don't expect to see that kind of loss anymore, but it's nice to feel a little lighter. I've upped my portions of fruits/veggies to 10-12 per day. Surprisingly, I've had no gas in spite of all the veggies I'm eating. No hunger either since I'm eating so often. I've discovered a couple of great new recipes, too!
