I feel pretty good, just a little tightness in my stomach of course. Lol. But all is well. I'm on a 2 week liquid diet 2 ounces each for Breakfast, lunch, &dinner of Protein Shakes, and all the Water, broth, and sugar free Crystal light I want. Can't wait to start my new Journey.

Any special kind of stool softener? Right now I have gel tabs, but after surgery (one week from today) I won't be able to swallow them.

If they are small enough, you should be okay, i broke all my painkillers and antibiotics in half and swallowed fine. I originally used Miralax (?) powder, mixed it in my yogurt. My clinic was very concerned with making sure I kept things moving. I am 5 weeks and still need them at least once a week, I found some very small pills..........probably just drugstore brand.

You might be able to, but a little help won't hurt

Congratulations!!! Most folks I have heard of and talked to have a little difficult time going for the first few weeks or even months...Well, because you are not eating a whole lot of anything! Nothing much in--nothing much out! Heee! But, today was my two week post op and the doc told me to take Milk of Magnesia...I have only gone twice since my surgery...but wanted to go...but didn't have anything in me to go! LOL!

Things will all work out and I am so glad you are doing well...THE GAS ABOUT KILLED ME!!! I am doing MUCH better with that now!
