  12. Hope I am successful in finishing my bowel prep and make it to the losers bench tomorrow, I don't want to delay!!!
  13. still puking, so now they say gatorade and miralax. w/6 ducolax pills. kids have gone to store. and the bit I did keep down is kicking in. Hopefully the vomiting has stopped.
  14. Anyone get sick, vomiting, from the bowel prep. Mine involves 8 ounces of prep every ten minutes and then after an hour, take two different antibiotics (fast dissolving) 2 times an hour apart. Vomited 3 minutes after the first antibiotics, probably everything drank so far. Worried if I cant get my bowel prep done, they will cancel surgery. they have told me to keep going and take the 2nd dose of antibiotics as planned. that will be at 4:25, hopefully they will stay down. It will give the doc thirty minutes to figure out plan B.
  15. Could it be lactose intolerance?
  16. On the android, click the plus, then click the three buttons on the upper right. Nevermind, shoulda finished reading
  17. I talked to my doctor's office this morning, they said no protein for the two days, of course. After surgery, they don't have you start on protein until the 4th day, either. Guess the two days before is to get your stomach used to it prior to surgery. I will only be working on clear liquids/ broth for the three days post surgery also. ARGHHH!
  18. hey another question, at what point did you start taking biotin, or what did you do for the hair loss.
  19. my two day clear liquids allowed for only clear sugar free drinks, and broths. They didn't say I could add protein, so basically, I have had a couple grams of protein, and I screwed up with the Powerade zero, bought the wrong ones so I had 260 calories and 70 carbs from that. Dont think the broths had much more to add to that.
  20. Good luck, bless you and be stong, my friends. Y'all will get thru this fine.
  21. I would kill for a Protein drink right now. It will be Friday before I see one, if I am doing my math right. Lord help me.
  22. I heard that!!! (a saying I hear in the south all the time) I feel ya! (there is another) Trudat! I have heard everything you are saying from my family.... most have gotten on board now, hope you find the same.
  23. I just read this, I hope you are ok, may I ask what happened so that you lost a lot of blood and needed transfusions. Hope the nose bleeds stop soon.
