Happy birthday hunny!
It must be really scary to have to come off at no notice, sorry to hear you feel lonely as well, especially on your birthday!
Last week at group we discussed if a scenario if you get caught out with no packs and you are out what can you do? Generally info was to go for protein (chicken, fish) with salad no dressing and it should keep you in ketosis and not cause stomach cramps, which apparently happens when you go back to food with no prep. Small portions etc. The other bit of advise she gave was to begin with stick to the same times as you were having packs, so 8 12 4 8 etc, every 4 hours so you don't become over hungry and then over eat.
It all sounded sensible to me! I'm vegetarian so the chicken and fish options could be interesting for me LOL............when I get to come off LLT.
Good luck sweetie and take one day at a time, you have so so brilliantly, give yourself time to adjust and don't be too hard on yourself.

Ps I'm sure you already have been told this, so apologies if you have.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your birthday.

You will get through this honey. Honest! I know it's awful hard at the mo, coping with the sudden change, but you will get through it and get through it well.
Try not to worry yourself stupid. Go back to very basic eating and avoid the carbs. Was it Gem or Hannah that posted that list of low carb food? Have a look at that and see if it meshes with the recomendations of the lighter life counselor.
Easier said than done. Coming off the packs can be tricky at the best of times, so be gentle with yourself. Very few people get it 100% straight away, so dont get disheartened if you are struggling to get your head round it all.
Hope your day is a good one, and if not hope tomorrow is better xx
Scary isn't it. Sounds like you did fine hun. Fine with the protein ,as my LLC said, no-one ever ended up on LL due to too much protein!
Wirth the salads, steer clear of mayo, potatoes, pasta, dressings etc. Have as much leafy veg as you like and add some interesting bits, avocado, asparagus, maybe some blueberries or raw apple amd fresh herbs. Dressing of olive oil and lemon juice , black pepper and a dollop of fat free plain yogurt - yummy. Maybe a few pine nuts scattered on top. Bob's your uncle!
