First week of MediFast

Well I am on day #4 of my first week! So far so good. On the first day I got a really bad headache and felt weak, when I called the office they said congratulations you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. Today, I am feeling better, as I am having a double shake for breakfast, a single one for lunch and a double for dinner and drinking lots of water. The only thing I am having trouble with is getting my oil for the day, am I supposed to just take it by a teaspoonful? ewwww. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Its my 1st week on Medifast also! Im having a hard time getting all my shakes in I dont feel hungry at all and need to force myself to drink them. Im going to call the office and ask if you need to drink them all even if you dont feel hungry. Im not taking oil because I dont have a gallbladder. Good Luck

Glad you are calling the office. I am guessing they will say YES drink them even if not hungry, same postop eat even if not hungry early on...it is important to get in minimal calories to prevent muscle wasting which is unhealthy and slows metaboolism and rate oof wt loss overall! Medifast is like 800 cal, anything lower say by by to metabolism and you will burn muscle not fat for fuel!

This is a situation where less is NOT better!

What kind of oil? Perhaps if not specified can do a walnut oil and add to shake ????Mix in magic bullet blender with ice perhaps????
OR another milder oil?

Hi--I started my 2 week pre-op yesterday and have a horrid migraine--so that is normal?  Unfortunately I cannot find my Imitrex and have been miserable all day--when does the headache go away?

I have found the product "emergen-c" helpful when the diet headache sets in, Take some additional c vitamins and see if the headache diminishes. Be Well, ANDI
