Dried apricots. Eat a dozen of those and you'll be cleaned out overnight. (Or sooner)

I'm also an insomniac with sleep apnea, although that's so much better now, I still need a machine. Work on getting into a schedule if you can, for me I'm doing Intermittent Fasting between 6pm and 8am and it's worked out great, not only for sleep, but for the weight loss as well. It seemed harder than it was to get myself into a schedule, but once I did, it works out quite well. Not sure what state you are in, but there is some really positive results with cannabis for sleep issues, and if medical cannabis isn't legal in your state yet or if you are like me and have a federal job and can't use it because it's still not federally legal, there is Dronabinol / Marinol (and it's covered on most medical plans) it's not as effective since it's just THC and no CBD, but it does work wonders for the insomnia!

A dexascan, but they're not cheap.

No unfortunately NSAIDs are a no-no. I would call the office (despite after hours) and ask for another Rx and explain your situation. In the meantime try taking Tylenol up to 600 mg (3 pills?) as an alternative.

Also, in my experience, the first day is the hardest. It gets easier the longer you're on it.

**Update!!! 1) Leg cramps are gone! Feeling great again. Loaded up on black beans & nuts this wknd & they totally went away within 24 hours!?! Wow that was fast! 2)My bariatrics office called me, they got my labs back and they looked good the Dr said! Just a little short on magnesium! So, yes that was the leg cramps. I’m otherwise doing well there. Wheew! Thank you all!!🙏🏼🙏🏼😍 Jen

Lots of people experience the ill effects of skipping ahead in stages. Lots of people don't. You did the best thing you could have which is go back to liquids until you are better. Let your new digestive system heal, there will be plenty of time for festive foods. Promise. Contact your team amd let them know what's happening if things don't improve. Safe Journey!

I would be LIVID if this happened to me and I didn’t want my coworkers to know!!! What did you say to the HR person! And definitely your doctor’s office should not have said where they were calling from. I’m so sorry this happened to you! 😰

Eating out that early can be tricky, I wouldn't suggest it because there are too many variables to consider BUT The best places are going to be the ones that let you customize your orders without a lot of hassle
