Push yourself to eat everything now. Your sense of taste will eventually change and something that you once loved will taste very different. Make sure you eat alot too. Zero pounds lost is the doctors goal for patients. Most of us tried but still lost a considerable amount of weight. So if you are a thin or average sized person try your best to pack on some pounds. Hot chocolate with half and half and marshmallow creme along side a piece of cheesecake should do the trick smile
