Hang in there, are you talking about the drinks that were purchased through Hurley?  I dont remember any specific "protein drink" or do you have to purchase something separate?  It took me awhile but I finally found a protein drink I can handle.  I found it at Meijer in the pharmacy department.  I forget the name right off but it comes in a 12oz can and has 35 grams of protein.  Good luck, it will be over before you know it.

If you're having trouble with the taste plug your nose.  It's worth the hassle in the end.  Are you doing the unjury soups?with protein?  You need to make sure to get in your protein.
Good luck.

The protein drink is metabolic whey extreme drink. It is a large container with 60 grams of protein.  As far as food, I want to eat a sandwich so baaaaaad!

I'm anxious to hear about your experience at St. John.  I may be having surgery there in the near future.  I was pretty impressed with the outpatient surgery department.

Good Luck with the rest of your liquid diet!  You can do it!

You gotta remember why your doing it!  Don't want to assume anything about you, but the way I motivate myself to exercise is to shake my stomach, gets me moving every time!  You may want to do that when your brain wants a sandwich.

Keep your eyes on the prize,

I'm in the same boat as you with the liquid diet. Today is DAY 2!!  Yesterday, the first day, really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I didn't get really really hungry until late evening. So I downed a huge glass of ice water, watched Survivor (in bed, the kids were eating Cheez-its!!)
and hoped to fall asleep fast! Its almost 8am and I'm hearing some rumbling going on. I can say, I found the low-carb Slim-Fast ready to drinks. They have 20 proteins, 1 sugar, and 1 (maybe 2) carbs. They taste pretty good. I'm gonna stock up on those for after surgery. (Which is NEXT THURSDAY!!!!)
So be honest everyone.... WHO CHEATED???? And what did you eat when you cheated and on what day???!!!
I gotta be honest, this is HARD already and dont know if I'm gonna make it 6 more days.... I know I know its short term.. But...
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
