Day Four...Sick as a dog!

What does that even mean "sick as a dog"? I need to google that...I have a dog and she doesn't get sick that often and when she does, you can barely tell she's sick, so that metaphor just doesn't make sense!!

I forgot to post yesterday so I thought I'd post this morning about my day four. I weighed myself yesterday morning and since Monday have lost 6 pounds, so the liquid thing is working! That being said, I think it's killed my immune system and as a result, I caught some sort of flu bug yesterday. Luckily no vomiting, just body aches, ear aches and a sore throat. I took a couple doses of sudafed nightime and napped throughout the day which was good. Got a lot of sleep yesterday! I'll be able to get some good rest this weekend, so should be back in shape by Monday.

I wasn't as hungry yesterday, which was great. Not sure if that's from being sick, or if my body is getting used to this diet. I actually had one less protein shake then I was supposed to yesterday so that wasn't good, but I just couldn't get it down. I need to look for other protein shakes that are good because slim fast and I are coming to the end of our relationship. I unfortunately don't like any other flavors but milk chocolate, or chocolate royale, and believe it or not, that's just too much chocolate in a week! I know there are a lot of posts about protein shakes on the lapbandtalk site, so I'll do some research today. I'm also headed to Whole Foods tonight to get some fresh veggies, since I'm allowed two cups of that per day.

As of this morning, I've lost 6.6 pounds. My goal for the first week is 8 pounds in total, so hopefully I'll get there. I'd like to lose at least 14 by surgery which is August 3rd.
