Tomorrow is surgery day!  Today is juice, juice and more juice.  Well, not all the juice - 60oz of 100% fruit juice (no pulp) spread throughout the day plus other sugar-free beverages and water.  I went with juice boxes so that I could easily track the amount of ounces I'm drinking.  Working well so far.

Surgery is on Tuesday. Don’t know what time yet but I’m glad I’m almost to it.

I’m on day 7 of the high protein liquid diet.  Our options for each day were Greek yogurt all day, carnation light start all day, milk all day or a high protein shake/juice during the day. I don’t like greek yogurt or protein shakes and the carnation drinks make me nauseous, so milk it was. Luckily I like 1% milk.  Added in some jello, Broth and a small popsicle each day. Also had my iced tea with Splenda and stevia.  I’ll admit, I cheated a little bit by having a small amount of peanut butter on some of the days. 

I’m definitely ready for real food again.   I saved some meals that can be put in a blender for weeks 2 & 3 pre-op. Living in a house with 6 other people who can eat normally has been hard but I’m trying not to be grumpy. They’ve been good though. They aren’t giving me a hard time about not being at the dinner table. I’m glad I have that support.  Do you also have support from your friends and family?

I'm on day 3 of the high protein liquid diet and I have to say, I'd really love to eat some meat right about now.  I'm definitely not meant to be a vegetarian.
