Sticking to it

Well, I have stuck to the diet like glue so far.  The formula really does take away the hunger, and the cravings.  I was constipated for the first few days, but then everything regulated and now I am normal again.  I am wondering if the formula with my pain meds are what is constipating me as much as it did, I guess I will find out soon enough, and I will have to take a stool softner so I dont get so constipated.  Drinking enough water is not a problem, but I think I am going to have to not drink so much at once because I get an over full feeling a little bit after I drink a full glass of water.  I have been mixing 2 full doses at a time, with one package of sugar free lime jello and one serving of sugar free drink mix, the walmart generic single serving things, and it tastes just like key lime pie.  I eat 1/4 of the mix at a time for breakfast and lunch with a piece of fruit, and it fills me up completely, with no cravings at all.   Then I eat a very light dinner and I am good.  I have not weighed myself yet this week, but I know I am losing because my pants are getting too big!  This formula is making the diet very easy so far, and that combined with daily exercise seems to be working.  I will weigh myself on sunday, and let you all know the results.

Just had my second dose, got so full I couldn't finish it all! Now let's see if I get any side effects from it!

Tell me what you want to know

Please Please Please ask me any questions, and let me know what kind of information you want me to post here.  I have never done anything like this before, so I am not sure what kind of info everyone wants to read about.  I am an open and honest person, so dont be shy!!  If you have specific details you would like to know, ask them in the comments and I will answer you as soon as I can. 

Pictures of ME..... COMING EVENTUALLY.....

Today was the first day on the diet, and asside from some minor stuff, it was a good day!  Hoping tomorrow is a better day!!  I will give you more details when it I am not so tired!!


I have been searching for pics of me from the past couple years, and didnt realise I have very few!!  I am going to put some up here hopefully SOON and they will be posted on the pictures page, so you all know where I am starting.  I will get my digital camera and laptop so I can work on this with a faster computer.  Anyway, when I get a chance I will take some new photos and add them also, so we can track my progress.

In The Beginning......

On March 30, while getting up to date on Facebook, I saw an add for Roca.  I usually dont pay any attention to adds, but this one caught my eye.  I clicked and there it began.  I read everything I could read about the Roca Formula, I read until I was satisfied that this was in fact something I wanted to try.  I placed my order at about 5am on March 31.  Then went back to Facebook.  I did a search for Roca and found Mini Gastric Roca, I read every post I could, until I fell asleep and dreamt about the NEW me.  The next day I kept reading everything I could, and started meeting people from the unofficial Roca diet support group.  I have talked to loads of very interesting people that are just like me, on a hard journey that they dont want to take alone!  Then the waiting started, waiting anxiously to receive my box!  I was so excited about a new diet I went and got a new Wii fit plus disk, mine was MIA, and started working out and watching what I ate.  The first time I weighed in on the Wii I was 286 lbs.  That was on March 31, and today April 4 I weighed in at 274 lbs, for a loss already of 12 pounds!!  12 pounds lost before I even started the diet, dang this stuff works, lol   Anyway I got the package on Saturday but couldn't start until today April 4, because I was spending Saturday with my family, and Sunday with my boyfriends family and I was worried about the possible side effects.  I opened the box late Saturday night, and took pictures so everyone can see what to expect when they get their box.  I will post them later tonight when I have a bit more time!  Today I mixed the first dose up, and well, it wasnt quite what I expected.  I was advised to take a half dose until I know how my body is going to react, but it was very runny and gooey, kinda like wallpaper paste, but I had added the cherry flavor they sent and it actually didnt taste bad.  It did fill me up, and as of yet, I am not hungry at all!!  I will post later tonight when with the results of the first day, and any side effects I have had.  Have a Blessed Day Everyone, Love Christina
