You can eat some sugar free jello. That counts as liquids.

My doctor only required us to fast for 4 days. But I also had to do a bowel prep. I was only allowed sf jello, protein shakes, sugar free clear liquids & broth for the 1st 2 days of the 4 day fast. On the third day I had to stop all protein shakes & do my bowl prep. 4th day still no protein shakes...just sugar free clear liquids, broth & SF jello. I lost 15 pounds.

Saying that...if you aren't required to do a bowel prep. Then I assume the length of your liquid diet is required because they want you to be completely empty. No solid bowels. Please try to follow the directions of your doctor as it states. If you feel yourself getting dizzy then call your doctor & maybe they can give you a particular food that will break down easy that won't effect your bowel.
