I am on clear liquids, i.e broth jello and liquids which all count toward your total fluid consumed for the day.  I was told to hit the 64 oz mark from day one, which I have yet to do.  I am generally a chugger of liquids so I would chug a bottle of water in minutes and be done with it but now I can not do that.  Although I have taken a few sips that I thought were to big after the fact and nothing happened. 

I am allowed to start my multivitamin and protein shakes on Monday and I am looking forward to the protein shakes that is for sure.  Hopefully with 3 shakes a day I will better be able to hit my 64 OZ water goal a day. 

Congrats on your surgery and welcome to the losers bench.

Congrats on your surgery and welcome home.  I made it home on Friday and am still moving slowly, having a hard time sleeping or getting comfortable.  I get to advance my diet after my follow-up appt on Wednesday. Welcome to the loser's bench

Do you mean you have the runs or have to pee (there is never tmi on this site ? I have to do neither. I wish I could pass more gas. Good luck with that. Make sure you are not losing too many fluids either way.

Gas has been a problem for me, but it hasn't been so bad that it has kept me close to the bathroom.  I am sure things will get better!

I am almost three weeks out and have been trying some new things.  I haven't thrown up yet.  I eat about half of what I think I should be able to and then wait for a min. or two to see how it goes before I eat more.  I am too scared to throw up :)
