Hello Diving-In
I started exactly a week ago and I can tell you from very recent experience to get ready for a true ride the next 3 days.
It seems crazy that the 3 day rule is so specific, but it truly is. Everyone has their own personal experience and has all of this to a degree. My first day was actually fine.......I was so psyched I wasn't even hungry. But then day two and the headache rolled in. By day 3 I thought I was going die and maybe even wanted to!! Anything that would have made that headache go away.
Now here's the point. Talk to your health advisor IMMEDIATELY if you are having any true aches,pains, ect. They have TONS of good advice and so do the people here. The problem is that you don't necessarily have enough time to read every post on every section at the moment you need it and sometimes you haven't read the info AHEAD of time. I told my health advisor about my headaches AFTER it was all over and she said she wished I would have come to her when it was happening because there are remedies.........like the fast soup, boulion (sp?) and salt on celery that might have helped. Our bodies go through so much adjustment in the very beginning and we need to help it over the hump.
The good news is that once that passes it's just on to bigger, or SMALLER I should say, things!!
Get registered as a member on this sight, get to know your health advisor, and get to know these awesome, incredible, fabulous people here and climb on board the biggest losing train in the world!!
Best of days to you and of course...........CHEERS!
