omg yall! i did IT again.. twice in the same day!! it was solid this time.. im amazed lol

I am starting week 3 and I was not allowed to leave the hoapital until my system was moving. I was also told to keep some Phillips liquid on hand and to never go 3 days with out moving my bowels. That said, I used the Philips when day 4 came around and nothing was moving. That was liquid needless to say

Two days later, happened on its own. Again, liquid. I was also told to expect that for a while based on what I am taking in. I just started pureed foods today.
