How's it all going? Managing to stay strong on the shakes??

Afternoon everyone!
Yesterday went pretty well. I enjoyed the shakes (the banana was better than the mint choc but i don't think i shook the choc one long enough, tasted a bit powdery) and the soup was really nice. I had the chicken and mushroom one and used a bowl and spoon and it almost felt like i was having a proper meal!
This morning has been tough though The porridge was foul so i threw it away and had a vanilla shake instead but i wasn't overly keen on that either (who knew a fatty could be so damn fussy!!). And i also made the mistake of having it really early this morning so i've had 6 hours between shakes and still half hour to go...and i am frigging starving!! I've managed to drink my way through 2 litres of fizzy water to try and get rid of the pangs! I've also made myself a cup of coffee but added a sweetener to it. Is that OK??

Oh yes i have 3 sweeteners in each cup of tea! You just can't use the granulated stuff. I always have my brekkie shake after 10am as same problem as you im always starving by lunchtime otherwise. Glad you're doing well hunni. I'm on a nightshift tonight so will be on day 7 when I finish. Weigh in on day 8 and I can't wait!! xxxxx

I agree - I binned the porridge too and swapped them for other shakes. I couldn't hack the soups either they made me gag.
.. my favourite is mint-choc or choc-orange with hot water; it's quite creamy and find it quite filling for breakfast then I have the pre-made choc/banana at work. This week I can have the choc bars which so far so good with, though you do need to drink with them - you need to wait for week 3 for that pleasure though!!!

I bought the Summer Berry water flavouring and it is making a massive difference if i just want a different flavour in my mouth - plus have frozen some and made lollies for something to nibble on/relieve the cravings in the evening when am watching TV.

You're doing well ... keep it up. That weigh in will be worth it!
