    Frozen yogurt, ice cream or sherbet

    yes, they are all considered liquid, just as long as there aren't any pieces in it, such as fruit, chocolate chips, etc. I looked it up under full liquid diet and it came from a government web site. Just remember carbs, calories, etc... and how you can tolerate it, but I'm sure you know that.

    Starting to change my mind...

    Not sure why, but I can't "like" these posts, so Thank you for your responses. I think I was just venting from nerves. The pessimist, um, I mean realist, in me sometimes speaks louder than necessary. Cheyenne, you're right, I can go to restaurants just not eat like a pig (yay)!

    So I've been thinking, I haven't even been to the orientation (my second one), and here I go again starting to dwell on nonsense things.

    Hello, my name is Marilyn....just starting!

    Thank you both for your response and for welcoming me. I am just worried that I will still need to take my antidepressant, which is extended release. I was wondering how I will take my meds in the beginning without getting too full...does that make sense? Along with vitamins, I am worried my...
