Are you sure we can go this long without food?

Hi everyone,

I'm starting day 5 and fill better every minute. Im kinda having a moment right now though. Can our bodies really handle Water and Gatorade. I feel very malnourished but i know i couldn't get down anything else.

I had that same thought but then I remembered all my "reserves". As long as you are staying hydrated, you'll be fine.

I started adding Protein on day 3. Used shakes, waters, and unflavored supplements. When can you have protein? You will feel better when you can nourish your body more.

I had 112 pounds worth of back up. Believe me, I could have survived longer than most small towns in Georgia with all the extra weight I was carrying.

Have you ever watched Survivor? I could be on that damn island for a year without food and probably still be considered an overweight BMI! ????. You can live without food - but not Water.

I am suppose to have my Protein shakes now but i can't get in more than a couple sips.

A couple sips is all you need right now. It's a sip by sip that will get us all through. Every sip counts. And the more Protein you are able to get in the better you will start to feel.

Has anyone ever considered adding unflavored Protein Powder to Protein Drinks, Soups etc? During my first attempt at the preop liquid diet I had a hard time getting in enough Protein because of liquid volume. I was thinking about doubling up so i could get more protein per cup of liquid.

I love HOT Soup and the Protein powders curdle/clump.

Where can you find that? Walmart doesn't carry it.

Amazon, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe all have unflavored Protein powder. GENEPRO is controversial, do a search and read the messages. I like Quest unflavored.

But yeah as all have said think of survivor. We all survived, you will too! But the more sips of Protein shake you can get down, the better you will feel!

In my area, Winco carries unflavored whey protein by the pound. I also found it at Sams club.
