I am a little moody myself today and feeling alot of head hunger. Too many food ads on TV and didn't sleep well so no energy for a walk right now. Just venting. Only three weeks out so I knew this would happen... Emotions driving me bonkers. Maybe a nap will help. Thanks for letting me share.

I tried to watch blindside today and was crying the whole movie so glad this is common.

I don't get a bad taste can you tell which one has the bad taste ? I try to spred mine out

Pure Protein makes me gag. I just bought some shakes from costco and they are the best so far.

Had the surgery on the 8th. Lost 20lbs the first 2 weeks but nothing the past few days. Head hunger is driving my crazy and i cant seem to drink enough Water. Have no energy but attempt to walk everyday. Does anyone else get lightheaded or dizzy every time they stand up? Other than that im so happy i got the surgery and cant wait for the next few weeks to be overwith!

Brianne, dehydration can make you lightheaded. Try to take baby steps. Work on water today and some Protein also try propel and low cal Gatorade g2. It helps with electrolytes. Good luck.
