i'm doing it right?

Some people find that they feel pretty good right off the bat so, congratulations!

By pop, I'm assuming you mean soda pop?  If you did, please try to avoid drinking soda.  Some surgeons, like mine, deem it taboo forever.  Others advise that if you must drink it, at least let it go mostly flat - but that's usually much further out.

You should not be drinking protein shakes. There is a liquid protein called Isopure. It is a protein water, comes in flavors, is 20 oz and 40 oz of protein. that's what you drink for the 1st 2 weeks. plus Crystal light. You can find it at GNC stores and on-line
