*if you can have SF popsicles, i will say those were my life savers*..stay up on the Protein as that is your fuel......about day 4 or 5, will be nothing to it....i promise it gets better.....you are stronger than you think..remember its only for a short time but when we are doing it, its like forEVAH

My doctor was ok with Diet green tea (I use Arizona brand) sipping that helped a lot. I was still cranky for the first 2-3 days though.

I agree keeping up with the protein shakes helped me. I know I upped my morning shake to 12 oz of skim milk with a scoop of powder to help me through the morning to lunch. SF jello really helped as it was something to chew and I usually had a bowl of chicken broth when I got home from work to hold me over to "dinner" -another shake with the family. The time will go by faster than you think and once you make it to day 6 or so, it really becomes a routine. I am 3 days out from surgery so I was where you are a few weeks ago. Best of luck!
