Two week shake diet

hey guys I start my two weeks of shakes on Tuesday. I just got them in the mail yesterday. I'm so excited and scared. I'm scared I'm going to get headaches and still feel hungry while on the shakes.  My surgery is in moncton. Can anyone give me some advise who's had these shakes and gone through the process.  Thanks 

Hi!  I start my shake diet on may 11 and surgery in moncton on may 26!....woohoo we are so close....you can do it!

Thanks, everything moves so fast once you get the date the time is flying by. 

I know how you feel because that is exactly how I felt (so you are normal, at least as normal as me...).  Anyhoo, I did not get any headaches, I drank my shakes and water, my best advise is to just keep your eye on the prize and power through it.  I never felt sick, I just got tired of them towards the end.  Use cinnamon, decaf coffee, orange or mint extract just switch them up as much as you can.  You are going to do great, it is just one more necessary step in the process.

Thanks, I am glad it's not just me thinking that way.  Everything is happening so fast I can't wait for the surgery.  

All the very best and I hope your doing ok!...one day at a time and before you know it...it will be done!

Let us know how your getting along.

I went through the shake diet from March 16-30. I was worried about the same thing you are, but to my great surprise I found it wasn't so bad. This from a person who has (had) a very big appetite. I used to have the idea that I couldn't live on less than about 1800 calories a day, so learning that I could indeed live on 800 and still feel great was very liberating.  I was very busy working long hours trying to get ready to leave work for a few weeks, and that really helped.  By the second week there were days when I didn't drink the fourth shake until 8-9 pm and wondered if I even really needed it.  (But I did drink it, because I'm following the rules to the letter on this whole process and I knew I needed that protein.) I would drink them at about 9am, 1 pm, and 5-6 pm, and usually split the fourth one in half as an afternoon/evening snack. I honestly felt great during the two weeks and had plenty of energy. I did have headaches the first few days which was probably caffeine withdrawal. But after those went away I felt better than usual on the shake diet - it made me realize how crappy eating sugar (which we all get more of than we realize I think) and just an excess of food in general actually makes you feel, even though it feels "normal".
