Post surgery full liquids.

Bambi,

Similar story here, I made a powdered broth that netted four cups of liquid - I left the noodles there, of course, but I drank wayyyy too much of the broth - probably two cups within 40 minutes!

I felt terrible afterwards in two ways; one, it ran right through me and I was in the john for much longer than I should have been... sorry... and two, I felt like a total ass for thinking I could consume so much at once. I'm not sure why I did - tasted good? Head hunger? Anyway, I have been dwelling on it since I did it - three days ago and since have started measuring four ounce portions and slowing the hell down! So far, so good. Let the Sleeve Education begin!!

Good Luck,

Carol

Keys - thank you so much for writing what happened to you. I have been dwelling on this as well since I did it..Not only was I silly for drinking all the Soup, but the amount of calories and carbs I consumed was outrageous....I've been reading people are having all kinds of Soups, but I never thought to start looking at the calories and carbs. When I did I really freaked out! Well tomorrow is a new day...

Does Soup run through everyone? All these liquids make me run to the bathroom all the time. :thumbup: I am taking immodium, but it certainly isn't helping.

Excited - I actually am having the opposite problem, haven't had the runs at all...I'm going to start adding metamucil Fiber to my shakes tomorrow. I hope that will help things move along...

Bambi,

I don't know why, but my program said to stay away from the Metamucil and to use Benefiber instead, but not to start it until 2 weeks out. I found some Benefiber crystal light type packets to add to Water as well as a big bottle of it from costco. They said not to worry about not pooping in the beginning because of the liquids stage.
