Week 1 day 2 Thursday

I forgot to mention yesterday that I decided to drop my water pill and potassium pill.  I have been questioning the need for the water pill since I have been on it, about 16 years.  I will be watching for water retention, so far, 1 day in, I don't see any problem.  I decided to do this because I will be dropping them anyway next week when I do my med change per doctor when I start the "meal replacement".  By the way, the potassium goes with the water pill because as you use a diuretic  you can loose potassium as well, so the potassium pill replaces it.

So, since I managed to drink the gallon of water yesterday and I started a bit late I ended around 8:30pm and I was concerned I would be up many times during the night in the bathroom.  Nope. I got up only once and had a good sleep 8 hours 14 min according to fitbit.   AND I was thirsty at 1:30 when I go up, and I mean thirsty.  Also, in the morning I was thirsty when I got up and by 9am I have had 2 tall glasses of water!

I wasn't starving this morning and had breakfast, 1 egg and potato hash.
Lunch- small roast beef sandwich, mango
dinner - small chicken breast, seared with asparagus
snack - cantolupe

1 gallon of water - done
plus 1 cup of milk

5100 steps
