Special K makes a protein/fiber drink mix (like Crystal Light) called Special K20

I've only been able to find it on Amazon.< /p>

Tastes great - no problem with it - Water, Protein and Fiber = winx3

If really bad try dulcolax, works fast and good, but may cause some cramping. Just don't rely on it all the time.

MIlk of magnesia to move things along quick. Follow up with Miralax, one dose a day until things are too soft. Then move to every other day. Then every third day. Since using miralax I've been able to go everyday.

I drank M of M and didnt work. I later increased the dose ( per doctors orders) to 2 tsp. and it worked like a charm! Now Im doing one tsp. every other day. Good luck and dont worry, everything is going to work out!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
