I too had a hard time on my first week... The shakes started to make me sick or maybe I was just sick of them... I do remember that I was very depressed in my first week... I cried a lot, asking myself if I did the right thing and if this is all I'm supposed to eat for the rest of my life.... Thank Goodness my Bariatrician only had me on liquid diet for a week....then on soft foods up to the 4th week... Just remember that you're doing this for a reason... To get healthier, we have to make little sacrifices.
