5 Days Out

So I'm 5 days out and I can't drink my whole protein shake. I drink maybe 2 ounces every 5 hours 2 or sometimes 3 xs a day. I also was advised to drink 64 oz of water a day and I sip and sip but at the most maybe I get 18 oz a day in. As anyone had any trouble with this? I also get hunger pain but once I take my pain medicine it goes away. Is it just acid indegestion or is it actual hunger? I must say my family went to mcdonalds today and ate in front of me and I felt nooooo temptations. Plus the movie theater. Popcorn and soda everywhere and I sipped on my water. Feel very proud of myself!

Having your family eat infront of you and smelling and seeing popcorn and you just sipping on your water is awesome!!!! I am 10 days out and the drinking does get easier. Is there anyway you can thin out your protein shake? Maybe it would go down a little better and not feel so heavy. I wish you the very best!!!!!

Thank you! I make it with water so it's has thin as possible. It's just hard to drink it all.

I was the opposite , I could get down an entire shake ( muscle milk ) but not my water. lasted a couple weeks but now I do pretty well, maybe 2 20oz bottle of water a day and at least one muscle milk.. sometimes 2. but I am eating chicken and salmon now so I dont worry too much about it.

I am awaiting my liquid vitamins now, looking forward to getting started on them. be sure to ask anything at all here, this place is great :)

Wow, I'm the opposite as well. I can drink a 16oz shake in 15 minutes but it takes 4 hrs to finish 20oz of plain water.
