Before/ during (posted in another thread previously)

Creating a new thread because the other one has gotten really long.
So, here are my before and currents to keep the topic moving.

Current as of last week:

It is a 5 stage diet starting with stage 1 being Water only 30cc/hr....stage 2 clear liquids....stage 3 low fat full liquids where I am now. I came home on stage two, started stage 3 the very next day. Stage four is mushy/pureed food....stage 5 regular diet.
I basically have been living on water, Jello, chix broth and carnation instant Breakfast. In the diet it says if you have problems, nausea, vomitting to move back a stage. I guess If I am tolerating it well I should move on/add on....or just add those few items I listed previously. I want to follow the program to maximize my weight loss......but dang! My stomach has never growled like this. I am taking in less than 300 calories/day right now. I am taking in plenty of fluids....I am peeing 5-6 times a day good amounts, clear yellow urine, so hydrations is not an issue.
I think I do have some restriction....as when I am drinking carnation instant breakfast I do get that golf ball in my throat occasionally, and I stop dringking for a few minutes. Actually that sensation occurs at times when I am not drinking too. Any insight would be helpful.
