Well I decided to put myself on total liquid diet. After the last 3 days I can take it any more. I ate a small plate of scrambled eggs(no toast) on Wendesday, A couple of small pieces of baked fish on Thursday and a small plate of scrambled eggs (again no toast) and after each meal I was in so much pain. Doesn't help that I haven't had a BM since monday. I have no really pain meds, just Bentyl, and my GI wasn't in today.

So at this moment I am drink hot Jello to help calm my stomach. I will do this all weekend to get things to ease up.

Anybody have any other liquid drinks (other than booze) that you use to help calm things down?

No BM since Monday huh?? what is your typical BM count per day?

Liquid diet for my would be broth beef or chicken and drink some boost or ensure so I can still get daily nutritional needs and Gatorade. There is no on-call doctor you can talk to?

BM's depend. I'm one of those ones that have the big D 7-10 times a day or get so constipated that I'm in pain.

The on call Dr is a real putz. When I had my heart attack last year and my heart Dr put me on Plavix I told this GI that I thought they were making a mistake because I have a tendence to bleed. He give me the attitude of I'm the Dr not you.
He actually told me that we had to worry about the heart before the gut. Sure enough a week later I was back in for lose of blood. 4 units. I had a lesion. My GI was back then and she discussed it with the heart Dr and decided to take me off it.

My wife wasn't exactly nice to the other GI when she saw him in the hallway. She went so far to ask him if he was willing to pay all my copays since he insisted on me taking the Plavix.

Yahoo!!!!! I pooped. I pooped.oo: What a good morning. Had to strain a little but I pooped. All the liquids are kicking in and getting things moving. My belly is really grumbling.
My wife has me drinking EMV which is a all natural energy drink made by Mona.Vie. She also has me drinking twice a day the Mona.Vie Active supplement drink. It is suppose to help your body absorb nutrients better. The main ingredient is the Acai berry. I hope this works cause I'm getting pretty tired of the pain, which has really calmed down since yesterday. I don't think I'll need to call the GI about pain pills.(I hope)

Other than the liquid jello, I would suggest beef or chicken broth, sports drinks, and maybe some popsicles. They melt, so I count it as a liquid.

Congrats on the BM, lol.

I have to watch the broths because of the sodium levels because of my heart attack last year. Popcicles would be good. My wife also bought me a gallon of apple cider. Later I'm trying a scrambled egg.
