Great post. It really makes me feel like I can do this. I can make the changes while still living life. Thank you.
PS: How do you make the chickpeas? Sounds like something I could use in my arsenal of new recipes. Lauren
Love this post! I love the open and honest way you just "let it all hang out". Fantastic. Keep up the great sense of humor and posts. I can't wait to see what happens in my situation.
Marisa,
How long do you have to go? I start my pre-op diet on 6/14 for surgery 6/19. I'll keep the hot water trick in mind. Pebbles: Lucky you! One place I went to was 2 weeks, the other was 10 days. The center I'm going through requires only 5 days. Not looking forward to it especially since I have to do the liquids, purees and softs for 6 weeks post surgery. "Real" food will not return until at least August. Good luck to all!!!
I'm June 19th. Nervous as anything but also so excited for this new start. I feel so lucky that I only have to do the pre-op liquid diet for 5 days. So I start mine next thursday. Be strong, you can do it. I'll be thinking about you!
