This has been fairly easy. I'm sick of protein shakes, though. They're so sweet! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

No cheating here. I didn't go through this to blow everything on something sweet. I have been tempted, but if I imagine what it tastes like, then I feel satisfied. In my mind, sugar is the enemy and I won't let it win. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

Yes, it's very dry where I live anyway, but my skin seems drier than usual. I think I'm not drinking enough water. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

I can't stand that flavorless stuff! Now I have a giant container and I don't want to use it. It's open, too, so I can't take it back. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

And no, I wasn't told about bending over, but it does hurt on occasion when I do, so I have been very careful. I hope everything is ok. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

I understand what you mean. I love pizza! My husband has been cooking whatever he wants while I'm on liquids. He had biscuits & gravy this morning. My mouth was watering as I drank my Protein shake. Last night we went to a banquet & it was difficult sticking to my Soup while everyone else was eating chicken, salad, cheese cake, and bread. I kept reminding myself that I will be able to eat real food soon & not to give up or give in. My husband said I wasn't missing much....that helped, too. Sleeve date: Oct. 15.

OK. You must try About Time. The birthday cake flavor is the best. It's a little pricy, but so worth it!!! Seriously! I posted about it in the nutrition, Protein shake thread. Their website is www.tryabouttime.com. They have free shipping & will send you samples! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

So, I went back to work & things are going really well. I can't yet work a full day, but I keep my Protein shake & Water by my side and drink as often as possible. I didn't get everything in because I was distracted with work, but I was just glad to have energy. I think I'll try to set a timer to remind me to drink. I did that math & to get in all of the water & the Protein Shake, I have to drink 3 oz. every hour.That doesn't sound like a lot, but when you consider my stomach only holds 1-2 oz. right now, then it's a lot. I also discovered today that my system does not like Chobani yogurt. That made me sad because I usually love it. I'll try again next week, but for now, I'm staying away from it. I have done ok with 4 oz. of strained egg drop Soup. Have a great Friday everyone! Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

Yes, I'm a cancer survivor & my doctor recommended that I avoid large quantities of soy. Some is ok & the more natural the state, the better (like edemame). I look at every label. If soy is one of the first five ingredients, I won't eat it. Sleeve date: Oct. 15. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy
