I'm not much of a grape juice drinker (and definitely not prune juice!), but I'm afraid I have no other choices. It's just too much sugar for me everyday!

I know other people get away with 1 glass a day, or only water. Do I have any other options?

I'm with you on the grape juice - too many added calories.

Lots of info in this forum if you have time for a search...type in "thickness" etc. - all good tips.

Hot green tea...trying 6 smaller meals per day....rotate your diet - not too much fiber in one day...magnesium and vitc can act as a natural laxative...

Also you don't need to drink prune juice - it comes as a tab...Prunelax sold as a jam and tabs. Here's the website address http://www.prunelax.com/ you can google to find stores in your area..

I like the prune tab idea! where do you get them??? Neat for those quicky trips abroad when I do not what to carry my prune juice bottle with me!

PS.....you are worried about the sugar in the grape juice? You should see my diet (juice, ice cream, choclate, coffee )

OMG Prune juice in pill form??? I take a shot of it and chase it with V8. It's the worst parts of my day!

As for sugar...I'm trying my best to stay fit after this surgery as I cannot do my regular fitness routine. I'm scared I'll turn back to my old 'fatty' ways of eating! It's weird, but I found that since I had the surgery and couldn't eat any fast food or candy, I actually don't miss it! It's like addiction...get it out of your system and you don't crave it anymore!! I wonder how long that will last....
