Hi GettingClean and jlr5 ... hope you all hang in there a few more days and see how it goes. I know it sucks. For me it took about a week to start to feel close to normal and like Art said it gets better each day. What really helped me the first few days with the cravings was making sure I ate something like every three hours or so, nothing crazy, just like a small balanced meal, it helped me stay on keel. Anyway, hope this helps and definitely read the previous posts for more info on what to expect. Congrats congrats!!
