pgkpjs 113 Posted January 24, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JARS517 54 Posted January 24, 2013 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!

Blondie638 98 Posted January 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
