I just got home yesterday. Surgery was done on Mon, Dec.7th. I have been dealing with a lot of "noise" from my stomach, and you guys are defenitely right..liquid in, liquid out, LOL. I am shocked that Judy is on soft foods only 1 week out? My dr. just told me yesterday to do 3 weeks of clears?

I would LOVE to do two weeks of clears, and a week of full liquid(xmas is coming up).

After 4 weeks im still getting some noise from stomach as well..... are you taking benifiber? it will help with the liquid out......helped me lots

No, I haven't tried that. Does it firm it up? The noise I just attribute to my body getting used to having nothing in it.

Ya it does firm it up some...lot less brown liquid :crying:....The Dr told me a lot of the noise is stomach acids being re-established as lots are taken away with the surgury

Thanks, I 'll give it a try. Stomach acid production huh? My doc put me on a 30 day prescription for Nexxium, I guess that's supposed to assist with that. Just ate breakfast...1/4 cup of Decaf tea, 1/2 cup of fat free skim milk, and a 1/4 cup of SF Gelatin. 2 hrs in and I have the milk, and tea gone, still working on the Jello.< /p>

are you getting in some protien also? protien bullets when on the clear liquid.......shakes when on full liquid

Actually my wife was gonna pick me up some of those Special K Protein Powder packets. I thought Milk would be enough, but the dr. recommended some type of Protein supplement. Other than the stomach noises, any other hints as to what else I have to look forward to in the next few weeks??
