Topic: RE: help - in pain and hungry
Ditto. Keep walking and keep sipping. The pain will pass. Make sure you are consuming enough liquids. Initially, I had growling then I realized that it was because I was trying to consume very little liquids and I needed to drink more. I am one week on the liquids today and do not have any more of the growling.
Topic: RE: What is the purpose of the 2 week diet????
I didnt have to do the two week thing, only the day before. Judging from my attitude doing it the day before, I am sure my family is glad they didn't have to go through two weeks of me. But I will say that my doctor did require some individuals to do anywhere from two weeks to five days to one day (as in my case).
The reason depends on your size, and the fact that they may need your liver to shrink. I would say follow the doctors orders as hard as it may be, because when I was in the hospital (1 overnight stay) there was a guy who was told to do the two weeks and didnt. He was in a lot of pain afterwards. I felt sorry for him trying to walk around and being in so much pain. It may or may not have been related to following orders, but I would rather be safe than sorry.
