Thanks ladies I am really not hungry yet but is all liquids really hard??

Honestly, it was not that bad for me until I knew it was time for my mushy stage. :)

Best thing, is to try NOT to think about not eating regular food. I think it makes it worse.

It was hard in the beginning, but I knew I could not eat that food. I think fear played a factor too! My husband took off this week and I joke with him saying he purposely is eating like a king this week because he know I can't eat with them! LOL, I really just tried not to think about the food too much and the smell did affect me, but then I was thinking I am only thinking about that food because I know I can't have it.

Yep I think they are testing us! Lol

I am so sorry you are having such terrible gas problems. I can tell you that what really helped me with that horrible gas was Miralax powder packets. One daily in crystal light helped me get rid of the gas quickly. You'll be surprised it works wonders!

I have a generic brand and it is too gritty and thick! It bothered my stomach so I will look into the Miralax.

Thank U MsRhonda,

Today is a better day with a little discomfort. I dnt know if I gt something stuck, I took my BP meds and it still feel like its there... and having a hard time with Protein. But I am working on it.

Only protein I can handle is unjury chocolate. Keep positive and keep walking :). Nothing more fantastic then going to work on burping outloud and laughing about it cause you have to lol. Have to crush all my meds though...that's hard to get through the taste. Good luck!!! Tomorrow will be even better
