Week 2 -3

By week 3, day 21 you should be feeling much better. Although you’ll still  be on a liquid diet and loosing weight for body has learned to heal and manage eating lesser calories.  By this time expect to be back to normal actives; work, school, driving, taking care of family.

It’s important you maintain a good sleep regiment. Your body is still healing and will get tired by mid-day. Naps will be your best friend. Remember, the body is amazing and will heal quickly, but you have to ensure you are providing it the rite nutrients even on a liquid diet.

Purchase a lunch pale for food items you can eat on the go. It will be a lifesaver when there’s no food option available of you.

Have a strong support network and know that in six weeks or so you’ll be back to your “new” self!

Hope this tips and recommendations were helpful.
