So it's day 1 of 14 on Medtrim...I need words of encouragement here. This shakes taste awful and I'm eyeing up my colleagues elbow gettting ready to gnaw at it...any recommendations?

Just keep your eyes on the prize... keep your eyes on the prize!!

I know how you are feeling. I am on day 7 of 3 week pre-op on Meditrim and it is tough. However, it does get easier. I would say about day 6 the hunger pains lessen. Keep your eye on the big picture. My thought ia that being on the pre-op diet will prepare your stomach for what's to come and "Bandster Hell" wont be as bad as what some people describe. We are building up our will power now and the weight loss is awesome - huge motivator. I have lost 12 already. Stay strong!

I'm on day 2 of my 7 day liquid diet, this morning I was working on a project, and I was totally fine, not thinking about it, but when I finished in a few hours then I started the whining and complaining and thinking too much about food. I guess just do whatever you can to keep your mind on other things.
