Ugh mine tasted like orange ass Water. It was the most disgusting thing in the world and I only drank 1/2 of it. Surgeon was ok with that.

Jerz u r too funny. I think it ends up coming out as orange ass Water too!

Baby wipes people! And wipe very softly. Even try Vaseline or buttpaste or desitin. I had diarrhea for two straight weeks and wish I would have done these things before I got terrible hemorrhoids. Which are now gone.

I got the lemon lime. Got it cold and mix half with sprite and half w ginger ale. It was the only way I could get it down.

Not looking forward to occupying the toilet all night long in the hotel. I must not forget the wipes and toilet paper.

You might want to bring Desitin with you too. I ended up using some and it definitely helped ease the raw butt!

Send someone to the pharmacy and see if u can buy a sitz bath its a little hat thing u can buy and it squirts warm Water to help clean u. Also don't use toilet paper get u the flushable wet wipes and gently clean urself then after every bathroom visit put Vaseline with some butt paste there. That's about all I can offer bc my rush became so raw it hurt. I did what I told u to do tho and it helped a lot. I have to use go the GoLite crap that should be renamed go aLOTly bc of my yearly scopes and that junk makes me raw and then causes horrible hemorrhoids. Best of luck to ya!

((Hugs))

      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.
