starting over 2020

Hey Donah C… we are all very excited for you to embark on this journey. You are almost done with the “hard” part. Be proud of yourself. Not many can say they can do what you are just about to finish.

From reading this site, I think its referred to as head hunger. I do fine during the day while at work, but at home when my family is eating dinner I struggle. I just have to stay strong and power through it. Certainly I'm not the only one who has felt this way, right?

Hey everyone. This is my first post. I found this site last night while struggling mentally with the LSD. My surgery is also on 3/9. I am on a high protein liquid-only diet for 14 days. The last two are clear liquids only. I wanted to share some of the drinks that I have found to be appealing in the last 7 days to help some of you who are just starting. The Primer Protein Chocolate was my go-to, but in the last week, I have found it to be too thick and a little chalky. I seem to have latched on to the Muscle Milk Light. It's not as thick but checks all the boxes. My guidelines in my book for shakes are under 160 calories, between 15-30 grams of protein and less than 5 grams of sugar. I can have 5-6 of them. I'm also allowed 2 servings of skim milk, all the water (with crystal light) I can drink, sugar-free jello and popsicles as well as broth. I did the Swanson's bone broth stuff three times last week and that was all I could handle. So I do bullion cubes in hot water, or I found a brand called "Better than Bullion" which is a paste that you add to water. It's pretty good. I try to save my milk for night time and treat myself to a protein powder shake. I make sure it meets the guidelines listed above. Ghost Protein has one called Chips Ahoy. It's amazing. I drink that about 9:30 pm. I'm not hungry overnight and don't get hungry for breakfast until about 8:30 am the next day. I'd also like to note that Grape Crystal Light is wonderful. It tastes so good!
