Be thankful you get anything besides shakes. I had 3 weeks of 3 Meal Replacement shakes a day. ( Could have SF Jello, broth and sf popsicles) but no solid food of any kind. To make matters worse, I work in an Elementary school and it was the 3 weeks leading up to Christmas break. There were treats in the teacher lounge - where I eat lunch - EVERYDAY! I used it as an opportunity to practice my self control. I also lost an additional 20 pounds leading up to my surgery! Drink plenty of Water and keep yourself busy.
