Hey - I remember when you first posted.  Good to hear from you, but sorry that you have some experimenting to do to get it right.  You will.

Do you know if you are sipping.  I had to use a ****tail sauce 'cup' - the size of a shot glass to learn to not gulp at first.  I had to make that thing last 3-5 sips. We mean SIPS, little baby sips.  (Did you have anything else done - like a hernia repair?) 

I found ISOPURE drinks at GNC - they are clear like gatorade. 40 grm prot in 16 ounces. 

At this point,  I used pre-mixed in a can or bottle and saved the powders for later.

You will be experimenting a bit at first, take it slow - be conservative.

PS -  If you think you are getting constipated, take something before you have a crisis.

I guess I shouldve been a bit more clear on my definition of day one.

This is my day one of all liquids leading to my surgery on the 21st.

ITs been hell. My stomach hurts. Everytime I drink a shake or eat jello, my stomach kills. Im assuming that my body isn't adjusted to  this and of course needs time to adjust.

Sorry.

You have to experiment and find what is gentle on your stomach.  The ISOPURE may work for you.

Do you usually have issues with sugar free sweeteners? wondering if that could be related.

I will sometimes get headaches from mine.

never. im ok with sugar free things

Well it appears  i might have had a case of food poisoning. ?

I amd better now. The shakes are staying down. I think my broth was bad.i appreciate the support guys!
