Day one of shakes

Well today is day one of my shakes for the next 2 weeks...1st shake going down now, I chose the chocolate shake this morning and it isn't too bad but then again this is the first of many for the next 2 weeks.  I haven't tried the vanilla yet so I hope they taste ok as well.  I put a few ice cubes in my shake to make it colder hope that helps.

Bottoms up!!!!!

I added flavours of Crystal Lite to my vanilla shakes to make lots of different flavours.  It helped to create variety and I loved the taste!  Good luck!  You can do it!

Well one day down of the shakes and they are not so bad, but I have a very bad headache and I woke up this morning with it as well....The girl at the place I ordered the Meditrim told me that I could mix crystal lite with the vanilla to change the flavor so I may do that today.  I had one chocolate shake and one vanilla yesterday and then two of the peanut butter crisp bars which are not too bad.  I hope this headache goes away though....thank goodness I am off today from work. 

13 more days left before surgery....the countdown is on!!!

Hi Whitney...The headaches may be due to sugar or caffiene withdrawal, or just plain ole stress..I have 3 more days to go before my big day and the drinks are getting old..I never thought I would look forward to having apple juice again..haha..I am drinking black tea with a little twin in it to avoid the total caffiene withdrawal..I couldn't do the black coffee but tea is drinkable..I got weighted in after one week on the pre-op diet and lost 10 lbs in one week..and co-workers are noticing the weight lose already..22 lbs down in 3 weeks..
Good Luck!

Wow that is awesome for you to loose 22 pounds since 3 weeks....I hope I loose some weight on these shakes...I will try some tea black....I usually have just a little bit of milk in it anyway so I can live without the milk.

Good luck to you on Friday as well....I will be thinking about you.

 I agree, Crystal Lite makes the shakes actually enjoyable!  I wish i had tried it earlier in my 2 weeks of shakes!

Good morning Abby, I am going to try the crystal lite today with the vanilla shake this afternoon...the chocolate shake is not too bad at all....

 Good job Beth!  Keep it going...its very important to shrink that liver before surgery.  Thinking of you

Than you Ang, today is a little bit better but I still have the headache and I think that is just because I am not eating as many calories and it is like a hunger headache I am thinking....I just had my vanilla shake and put some crystal lite in it and it tasted pretty good...I am trying to drink lots of water in between the shakes and bars....almost 2 days down and 12 to go...woohooo 

cheers 

OK now I am on day 4 of these shakes and have lost 4 pounds so far which is good, but the hunger headaches are horrible and I just want to crawl into bed and just sleep....so then I am not thinking about food food food...I worked last night so that wasn't too bad and I work this evening until 10:30 so that will keep my mind busy....every day that I work I wear a pedometer as I am always on my feet and walking at WalMart and each night or shift I at least walk 4-6 miles so that is very good for me.  I am enjoying the advantage of getting my exercise in walking.  10 more days of shakes and bars can I do it!!!!!   I think I can I keep telling myself I can.  I am drinking lots of eater also.  I woke up at noon today so I am jsut having my first shake so I am kind of off kilter but that is ok I will get all 4 in today I am sure.

Everyone have a great day today and don't forget to smile.
