I have to do 2 weeks of 2 Protein shakes a day and a protein/salad for dinner' date=' then 3 days prior to surgery I have to be on clear liquids and take a daily laxative. Water and yogurt sounds much better :P[/quote']

I have tummy trouble with stuff like yogurt, so I actually would prefer the clear liquids. Which im thinking like broths? Im going to ask if I can mix it up between the two. Im wondering if yogurt because it has Probiotics in it. That could be to help the bathroom issues?

Nice to see you!! I can't wait to hear about everyones experiances! The thing I am most concerned about right now is how my four year old and my sisters three year old will do for almost 6 days without us!!!! the three year old has major momma attachment, so I am not sure how he will do! I am a bit worried :(

A little more about me... I am a registered Nurse, been overweight for about 15 years, obese for 13 years, ever since I had a hysterectomy, I guess. I have severe osteoarthritis and had a knee replacement last year. I want to avoid diabetes, heart disease and another knee replacement, that is why I am getting this valuable tool to help me get to my goal weight.
