I'm having the worst time drinking my protine. It's horrible! I wish I could stomach it. I've tried different shakes and adding different things to make it at least tolerable but nothing is helping. I'd much rather drink plain Water all day. Sent from my LGL41C using the BariatricPal App

Oh, yea.. I was crabby too the first week just from getting used to the diet. I hope you feel better! Sent from my LGL41C using the BariatricPal App

It will get better! what you are going through is from the ketosis diet and ketosis flu is making you feel terrible. Just google it. Understanding more of what is happening and why made this process a little easier to deal with for me and I hope it helps others. I felt hungry, tired, my head hurt and there was a sweet taste in my mouth but it passed after 3-4 days. The 6th day I was feeling like myself again. I actually feel even better then I was before starting the liquid diet!

1 week down and I have lost about a pound a day. Feeling a little less tired which is great and I feel more confident in myself for not being tempted to eat when others are eating around me. I just don't have the desire. I'm super excided and I hope this week passes quickly for all the 8/9 surgery date people!

Thank you @@Shrinkinqtpi for the link to Ketosis!! This was so helpful!

The struggle is completely real. I think the worst part for me is the lack of energy. I hope this passes quickly!

I bought a few Protein mixes from my Dr's office. My favorite is by New Direction and is Mocha flavor. I think right now the hardest part is that everyone around me at work seems to love food. They talk about it and eat through out the day. Doesn't help that yesterday and today there are celebrations going on in my office. BUT I am doing good so far!

I started today as well... I wish good luck for the both of us!
