that's the same as mine.  Two days out and almost done with day two of three day liquid pre op.

Feeling great lost 6 lbs in these two days.  I am on no insulin too.  My blood sugars are fine.

I wish them well.

Topic: RE: Almost one week out, and questions please!
I'm fairly convinced now that I have a good case of constipation, and that that is causing a lot of my discomfort.

I've been taking only Unjury unflavored and chicken soup, mixing them with water, jello or other clear liquids.  No dairy.  I've also had Isopure and two Protein Bullets.  Drank each straight up.  Well,  I did sip water along with the bullets.

FYI I did just have a small BM.  Not runny AT ALL.

Laura and War Eagle, You are Definitely getting prayers sent out for you. If it gets postponed....remember....there are reasons beyond what we know in the ultimate plan. Trust the process to get you through the entire procedure and recovery period safe and healthy. I'm scheduled for tomorrow and  feel like I'm walking a tightrope while holding my breath. I just want to go to bed so that it can be tomorrow already!!!!! But in the back of my mind is that feeling...are they going to find out something and delay or cancel me? I am just trusting that what is meant to happen will happen. So, keep the faith, and see you on the other side!!!!!!

Hi. I am 6 days post op and I am having the opposite of you. I have diarrhea sometimes pure water and sometimes just loose little plops  almost every time I go to the bathroom. It happens whenever I have the Isopure protein clear flavored drink..It can also happen just  with water. One person said she swallows and can feel it going through till it comes out. I kindof feel like that too. I have heard it could be the antibiotics they gave in the hospital, and I have heard it is normal, and I have heard it may be the artificial sweeteners in the protein drink?? I am making sure to stay hydrated..that's all I can do for now. I for sure have to sip sip sip..One big drink and it really hurts right below my breast bone. What kind of protein shakes are you drinking? Are you mixing them with water or milk? Do they have any fiber in them? Maybe that is causing the constipation?

I will pray for you.  Not sure about my surgery too.  My pre-op is Tuesday.  That is not going to happen, so I will wait to hear. 

Can you send me an email with his email address?  I don't have it.
