Thank you for the kind replies!
I am able to drink Clear Liquids. I haven't been able to drink crystal light because it's just so sweet, but it might balance out the bitterness of my morning cream of wheat Breakfast.
As far as rest goes, I sleep well at night, but maybe not resting the way I should. Congrats on reaching your goal! I can't wait to get there!
You all are such an inspiration!
