Awwww congrats and good luck hunnie..the liquid diet is hard and challenging ..you can do it tho. Are you allowed one meal. I was allowed one 300 calorie meal with mines

[wenrishel 16]

No...strictly liquids...protein shakes (3 daily) low fat cream Soups, broth, skim milk, sf Popsicles or sf Italian ice and sf Jello of course. I just hope this week goes by fast! How bout you? When was/is your surgery?

[bubblezluv005 4]

Well at least you only have to do it for one week. I was on a 2 week one

Awwwe I know it must be frustrating.. Thankfully I had no problems with my bowels. I know some people it took up to two weeks for them to have one. So just be patient and if it really is bothering you contact your doc. As for Water intake I'm still not at where I should be but I sip all day..try and use flavor enhancers it should help. Me I prefer mines ice cold. Good luck

Hi heather

Welcome!!! I'm in nyc (we are not too far from each other). I was sleeved on 3/24. How are you feeling?

Special K I'm not sure if you eat black eye peas but if you make your broth add some onions, carrots and boil the Beans at a high temperature. Trust me I had the same problem. Those beans got everything moving and I make sure I eat some everyday just for that. Also a lot of Water. I pray that this is helpful
