Jim, do you have products other than shakes? Sometimes the other stuff is more filling and stays with you a bit longer. Also, how often are you having the supplements? In the beginning, it sometimes helps to space them closer together. And if you're really hungry, add an extra one.

Hang in there! It gets better after the first few days.

Hi Jim,

Hang in there! I've been at it for a week and two days. The first few days were not that great, but I just kept drinking lots of water. You can have bouillon also. This helps my husband quite a bit when he's at work and needs something to help fill him until his next MF meal. Also, just sit and read through the forum. There are lots of very supportive people here who will help you get past this rough patch.

You can do this!

Hey Jim,

Hang in there! I promise that you can get throught it!

You have so much support here and I'm telln' ya, these three days will go by very quickly! I just tried to keep myself busy and not think about it as much as possible.

Hang in there!

Hey Jim,

The first couple of days are rough. I did find out that if you put the Shakes in the blender and add some Splenda and Sugar Free Syrups and let it blend for 5 or more minutes it gets thicker and smoother.

Add some Ice and its really great and quite filling.

I also added Coffee to my shakes, it gives me the caffeine that I really need and gives it an extra boost.. lol

You can do this!!

I'm at 1 week and 3 days and Feeling GREAT!!

I noticed the time you posted was 5:30 PM and if you've only had three items and you've been up since 7 AM or so then you have not had enough packets...


I see you are a Nurse so perhaps your day starts later than others because of your shift but here's some info:

The first packet should be taken within one hour of awakening and then every two to three hours thereafter.

In the beginning, you may need to have the packets at the two hour interval. As time goes by, if you are able, stretch them to three hours, but no more than 3.5 hours apart, as your blood sugars may drop too low.

Drink a lot of water - especially tomorrow and on day three to prevent a headache. Keep the bouillon handy and use 1-2 per day the first few days/weeks as needed...

Yup, shakes made in the blender are more filling, especially with the addition of ice as it makes a larger volume. I'd be careful and not use too much caffeine; it can make some people jittery and it can also stimulate the appetite for others.

If you get hungry, have another shake - it's only 100 calories and it is balanced protein/carbs. The extra soy in a shake is hunger-satisfying as soy has natural appetite qualities. The shakes have more soy content than other food products.

Don't cave - be strong! Anyone who can look at gnarly wounds, take out sutures, help people who are and poke them in the arm with a syringe can do anything for three hours - you can do it!

The first couple days are tough. I felt exhausted and I was drinking 8+ cups of coffee a day and cut it down to 1 cup, so I was having headaches from caffeine withdrawals, but after the 3rd day. It was a different ballgame. I'm not hungry...I'm not tired. It was amazing.

Hang in there, you'll do it.
