So, yes, I can have apple juice, white grape juice, even coffee and tea are okay. What isn't okay is dye or anything even the tiniest bit fibrous; they just say no solids to make it simple. I am going to obey my doctor's orders, but reading up, some doctors now allow vanilla yogurt, completely processed white bread and a few other foods that completely liquify early in digestion (I never knew that about white bread). Not going to tempt fate, though. Just my fruit juice and I'll have some chicken broth while everyone else has Easter dinner.

Drinking all the fruit juice means I am not going to have that unhealthy big drop of over a pound in 2 days, which I guess is actually a good thing. I will probably still have a drop because I will likely not get full calories either day.

Earlier today, I walked the same long route that I did yesterday when i was suspicious that my fitness watch gave me extra steps for riding on a boat. It did; about 2700. The long walk was over 10000; yesterday it probably registered close to 13000 (not positive because I didn't look at it before walking but it should have had maybe a few hundred). So that is one reason to be careful about accepting all the steps as calories to add to the daily allotment.
