I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the answer to your question. I'll do some research in Google and get back to you if I got an good answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably could answer your Medifast question..
I think cag524 wrote it if it's the same one I'm thinking of. And it was probably about April or May of this year. I'll try to find the one I'm thinking of and we can see if it's the one you're looking for...
Hey Liz - Is this the one you were thinking of? By cag524 on 4/28:.
Have you had these THoughts??????.
Postop Day 1 through Week 2:.
“What the hell did I just DO to myself???”.
“Why am I/am I not hungry?”.
“I’ll NEVER be able to get in all the fluid/protein/food they want me to.”.
“I can eat TOO much – did I break something?”.
“I can’t eat enough…will I die of starvation?”.
“I can’t believe how badly this hurt! ~OR~ I can’t believe I even had.
Surgery.
, because there’s so little pain!”.
“Why do I have no energy?”.
“When can I eat….fill in the blank?”.
“Will I ever be able to gulp water again?”.
“Why did I GAIN 10 pounds???”.
“Wow, I’ve lost 10 pounds!”.
You think you've hit your first plateau. Nope. Odds are VERY good you haven't.
Postop weeks 2 through 12:.
Post op remorse usually fades during this time period. What a relief that is!.
You TRY hard to stick to your doctors Medifast diet regimen/protocol and wonder if you’re evil when you slip off the wagon by eating….fill in the blank..
You think you've hit your first, 2nd or 3rd plataue Nope. Odds are VERY good you haven't) Nearly everyone experiences a stall during the first 3 months..
You accidentally gulp water and freak that you’ve broken your pouch..
You accidentally forget to chew something to death and fear you’ve plugged your stoma..
You FEAR strictures, fistulas and leaks every time you burp, get nauseated, have diarrhea, feel a muscle cramp, etc. This fear is not abnormal and you ‘could’ have one of these since this is the prime time for it – however fear is no way to live. There are common symptoms attributed to these. Hopefully you’ve researched them postop and can shelve the fear and keep a reasonable eye out for them..

Months 3 through 18:.
You worry you are a slow loser and have days you doubt the tool will work, or wonder if it’s broke. I am NOT mocking. Some people’s tools DO break during this period of time, but it is in the minority, not the majority..
You wonder if you’ll ever get to goal..
You made goal and worry you’ll not stop losing..
You worry because you can eat TOO much..
You worry because you still eat too little..
You worry about getting in enough protein..
You worry you’re getting in too much protein..
You ponder whether carbs are evil or not..
You question again whether Medifast diet pills are evil. (They ARE!).
You compare your losses against everyone else’s..
You discover that you had an.
Exercise.
Guru hidden within you and are now an.
Exercise.
Maniac..
You discover that you HATE.

And try and force yourself to get moving..
You may have hit your first plateau don't panic! - Have you noticed a reoccurring theme?.
Months 19 and beyond:.
You may hit a plataue don't panic!.
You reach goal and worry you'll regain..
You wonder if you'll stop losing!.
You wonder if you'll EVER make goal (you've likely heard about the dreaded window and fear it closed at 18 months -.
You may find yourself sliding; eating the wrong foods; slacking on.
Exercise.
; and freak when you regain 10 pounds. Time to get back on track!.
I am sure many can or will relate to these things! I know I can!.
