the first 4 days are the hardest. Drink lots of wter in addition to your shakes. There is nothing fuin about it...You have to tough it out! But I promise it gets better.

I agree, the first 4 days I felt awful while my body was adjusting. It does get better and I was actually surprised at how much energy I had and how good I felt. Hang in there!!!

as Floridays said, the first 4 or 5 days are the hardest, I mean HARDEST. Your body is detoxing from carbs and sugars. Trust me if I can do it, you can to. This will be the hardest thing you will have to do but it prepares you for after surgery post op diet too so please stick it out and stay with it, it will shrink your liver so that your surgeon can work around inside you. Remember why you chose this, to live a healthy and happy life. It does get better, I promise, we've all been thru it and we are here for you. I was allowed 3 protein shakes a day, broth, sf jello, popsicles. Trust me, the first 3 days I thought I was going to die, really, my body was shaking, I was nauseous, lightheaded and dizzy but we've all been thru it. You would not believe the amount of food and carbs/sugar I was eating before surgery, probably upwards of 3000 cal. a day and not batting an eye and when you do this you are shocking your body but its worth it.

Ditto to everyone above. :)

Also, try to find some activities to keep you busy and refocus your mind from food to other things. Maybe go for walks, craft, call a friend, etc. but stay busy so you don't get hyperfocused on food or lack thereof. We have all been there and it really does get easier!!!

that is probably sugar or caffeine withdrawal. it will feel much better in a few days. water, water,water & more water. it really does make a big difference.
