Topic: RE: what did you notice first?

who knows..but i am down to my lowest weight in 5 years and if i could i would just be dancing...it's like 8 pounds since my surgery already ( 5 days ago..)

at this point my stomach goes up and down like a balloon with the gas thing...
my face is actually kinda gross..need to hydrate or something because my skin looks waxy and not so good....probably time for a good pamper day..it is bone dry and cold outside so that isn't a help.

You know I didn't even think to weigh myself. I have been on a liquid diet for a week and lost 10 pounds. So, needless to say there was not much to clean out. I think I made 7 visits to the potty. My stuff was 2 bottles, 1.5 oz each.

My stomach was so upset. At 4pm when I had to drink the next 1.5 oz, I was all upset and crying and shaking. Hubby stood next to me, I drank it and threw it all right back up! Ewwwww!

Out of curiousity, is anyone weighing themselves before and AFTER the bowel prep? I'm curious how much we lose, if anything at all. I'm sure it's something , just wondering if it's measurable, like a pound. What kind/brand do you have to take? I have to do this Phospho-soda, I hear it's really bad, but better if I chill it and put it in something cold. Blech!
