My doctor was ok with Diet green tea (I use Arizona brand) sipping that helped a lot. I was still cranky for the first 2-3 days though.

I agree keeping up with the Protein Shakes helped me. I know I upped my morning shake to 12 oz of skim milk with a scoop of powder to help me through the morning to lunch. SF Jello really helped as it was something to chew and I usually had a bowl of chicken broth when I got home from work to hold me over to "dinner" -another shake with the family. The time will go by faster than you think and once you make it to day 6 or so, it really becomes a routine. I am 3 days out from surgery so I was where you are a few weeks ago. Best of luck!

Just keep in your routine.. Your body will get use to it.

Know that the end prize is worth it. From experience too if u mess up it makes it harder to get back onto it! So just stick with it! Itll get easier.

I had Protein Shake in morning and lunch. Then just drank flavored water throughout the day

Drinking more Water has really helped. 10 more days till surgery.
