Clear liquid diet?

Yesterday was a very blessed day! :o) I actually took care of our horses for once in the AM, dropped my son off at school, went to the Post Office and went to the farm store to buy rabbit food and not once did my stomach bother me!
I also walked 2 miles and worked hard taking care of horses in the PM too. All without a hiccup. I did have one scare but it was just gas.
Still waking up once in the night but I feel that starting to fade away as well. Mainly it's my Canasa as I think my colon/rectum is still a little inflamed so it kind of burns a little to keep the suppositories in. I keep them in for at least 3 hours though so that is good! But I am not running as soon as I open my eyes! I actually could lay in bed and talk to my son when he woke up yesterday for like 10-15 minutes.
My mom got in touch with a nutritionist/wellness counselor yesterday and she is willing to work with me to change my diet completely. (Counselor is someone my mom actually used when she was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago and she helped my mom tremendously!) She says it is no easy road but that if I can commit to it, then it will help me a great deal. She's helped people with UC before and she doesn't at all discount medicine....she says when you absolutely need it then you should take it but that it's good to create health from the inside by eating correctly and that way any fights we have to fight will maybe be a bit easier.
I'm totally willing to commit. So we will see! I will meet with her next week.
SS000- I have been quite depressed because my husband keeps mentioning the surgery thing and bringing energy to it and I have to keep begging him to stop because it is not something I am ready for. I am not even sure if I ever will be ready for that....I want to try with all of my might, every avenue to keep my colon AND my health to the rest of my body. I keep crying randomly about it because everyone who has mentioned surgery in my world talks about it like it's some easy peasy thing.......I wish they had to face maybe once day removing their colon....Ugh!
But I am not going to put my energy towards it. I have other things that will help me that I need to focus on!

SS0000 - How are you feeling these days!?
I am feeling pretty OK!
I have been eating no gluten for the past 2 weeks and just have changed my whole diet and I have to say that I have felt better than I have ever felt!
I did have a GF pizza the other day and I believe the cheese on it must have caused a hiccup because I've been slightly uncomfortable these past couple of days with a tiny bit of blood first thing in the AM. So no more cheese I suppose! At least not for a while and maybe only really fermented cheese in small amounts.
I'm only down to 2-3 BM's a day! I feel great. But I am not entirely sure if it's the prednisone or if the diet is really playing it's part. I don't think 2 weeks will change much in me. I know it has caused me to lose 5lbs and has given me lots of energy and made me just feel all around much happier.
I am happy with my change and have been venturing out finding recipes to make good fresh food for my family and it actually warms my heart when they say "ohhhh!! this is yummy!!!"
I'm still waiting to see about getting a colonscopy to re-stage my disease hopefully can get that done sooner than later! :o)

jse - how much pred are you on ? and for how long ? why do you want/need a scope and what does "re-stage" mean ?

it's cool you're doing so well - don't discount the diet change contributing to you're feeling better -
