I went to the doc the other day. She prescribed me the topomax. I had to order the kudzu online so I am waiting for that and the hypnotherapy cd's. I have started taking the other supplements though. Is that a waste to take them now without having everything? I really hate that it takes so long to get this stuff in the mail! Anyway, my 40th bday is tomorrow, so I'm really wanting for this to be a better, more positive year in my life...a healthier year! Wish me luck! I haven't decided if I will be AF or mod yet. I'm hoping to be able to be mod, but maybe I wont be able to...time will tell I guess.

Good luck to all of us just getting started!!

Hi Kimbers and welcome!

The supplements work differently for all people (some take the entire list in the program, some tailor it to meet their needs) so I don't think starting on some while you wait for the others to arrive is a bad thing. You will figure out your way out as you go through this process.

Good luck and Happy Birthday!

Hi Kimbers-

I agree that you can start the supps right away. If you are struggling with cravings I can tell you that the L-glut is helpful. It provides a measure of relief in almost imediately if you take enough of it. (500 mg at least I'd say. Best of luck to you and I hope you will stick around and get to know us here.

Just stopping by to say hello.. nice to meet you ... and HAPPY B-DAY!

Hope you're having a good, happy day. And by all means, start the supplements. As someone else mentioned, the L-glutamine is just awesome for cravings and it really clears your head, or at least I noticed some head-clearage that went along with taking them. I was popping about 12 of them a day. I don't think you can OD on them.

Keep on posting about how you're doing!

I'm going to check and see if that L-glutamine is available here in a health store or Pharmacy as the other supplements are banned. Another Irish lady said customs sent her stuff back. Plus i don't have a credit card so downloading the book or getting the cds is not an option for me. But i'm sure i can get similar cds here. Just goin cold turkey again but taking vitimin B and water wit fresh lemon. Happy 40th birthday i wish you well.
