I am not looking forward to protein shakes, chicken broth, juice and yogurt for 14 days.

Yeah that is what they told me too but I have seen people here posting that had it done LAP and they didn't have to be on liquids for all those days. So I have to admit I have cheated. I just couldn't get through those days. I am hoping this weekend I can put a better effort into it as my husband will be home and can help with the cooking for the rest of the family. I wish you alot of luck.

I only had to do 2 days, and that was so I could shrink the liver a little bit before hand. I'd have gone nuts if I hand to do it longer then that.

Yeah they told me that is why they wanted me to do it too..but 10 days was a really long time...I am hoping to make it over the weekend at least. Then I will have a few days in..I feel terrible that I cheated but I just was starvin...I sure hope things get better from here on out..

Don't worry about the cheating...you will be fine. You are almost there...3 more days. Hang in there.
