Hi Rob,

I didn't track everything for the first month. I bought a 22 oz tumbler and morning, noon, and night I mixed about 8 oz water with 3 oz fruit juice and 1 scoop of Unjury unflavored protein powder, then filled the glass to the top with ice. By dividing the day into 3 segments and making sure to get at least 20 grams of protein in each third, I didn't have to worry about inadequate protein. When I started tracking more carefully, was when I was eating more solid foods because I wanted to know when I was getting enough protein to begin using less of the Unjury. Also, after about 4 weeks, I was able to eat more and I wanted to monitor my carbs and proteins to get a good idea what I was eating. Now I monitor only sporadically because I use 1 scoop of Unjury daily with my food, and I know that I'm getting enough protein.

I felt very tired, weak and sometimes a little dizzy for the first month. When I started eating mushies and getting in a few more calories, I started to feel much better. I had a "full liquid" diet for 4 weeks, and then "mushies" for another 4 weeks. I wasn't starting regular foods until 8 weeks out. It sounds like what you are experiencing is pretty normal for the first month. I think you will start to feel better very soon!
