Three bits of good news 
The first(and most important)bit is that the renal pain has ceased without any intervention.
Strangely enough a couple of other ladies suffered similarly over the weekend. One went to A&E and was immediately told to stop the foodpacks and eat ~ actually made to eat in front of the doctor 
the other went to her GP and was told to stop the packs straight away 
Being a practice nurse, I chat with doctors every day and asked a few what they thought.
The general opinion was that the volume of water is very shocking to the Liver and kidneys and they are working very hard to begin with after being in a state of near dehydration for years. There is the added risk of gall bladder problems on very low calorie diets, but it is felt that this would most likely be a pre-existing condition, probably exacerbated by rapid weight loss.
They did all say that while they would be duty bound to advise anyone who presented to them with these symptoms while on LL to stop the plan and return to a normal diet,they would NO WAY make a patient eat in front of them. 
My personal feeling is that if an individual not on the programme were to present with identical symptoms, they would most certainly not be told to stop eating food 
The second bit is that my weight loss on Tuesday was 2.6lbs.
I have now lost a total of one stone and one pound
The third bit of news is that I have dropped a dress size and am now comfortable in a size 12
as opposed to squeezed into a size 14 
Also, S measured us all again and showed us the 'gap' in the tape measure which was astonishing 
. We were all so preoccupied with the number on the scales so it did wonders for morale to see the evidence in inches.
After a month I have lost 4 1/2" from my bust,4" from my waist and 4" from my hips 
It doesn't sound much, but its undeniable proof that I am shrinking 
In group we discussed psychological hungers and the ways that we structure our time. All very interesting but I was still too chuffed with the tape measure results to contribute very much 
Today is Day 30 ~ valentines day
I recieved a huge bunch of yellow roses (my absolute favourite!) in a gorgeous vase,arranged by himself!! and a beautiful card complete with romantic words also written by himself what is going on?....I am so happy to be spoiled 
Last night I watched 'The constant gardener' and was blown away What a superb film.
Just kept imagining Kate Winslet as Tessa, but that aside, if you ever get the opportunity, watch it without interruptions. *sniff
