I am hitting day 7 of a 21 day pre-op diet and not to bad so far. Of course the Doc hit me with a 3 week liver shrink instead of 2 because I am a big ole boy. Down 30 lbs so far with 2 more weeks to go before surgery. I had been reducing my food intake for the last 2 weeks before I started so it would not be such a shock. The Doc has allowed me a small dinner and even a yogurt if wanted per day. But so far have been following a more disciplined attack 2 to 3 protein drinks a day and a hot meal of fresh or canned spinach for dinner to feel good. Oh yeah the unjury chicken soup has helped to comfort as I found it to be very salty.

Well, 14 more days to go and as long as I stay this route I am hoping all goes well.

Unjury Chicken flavor warning. Well the label did say not to get the water to hot and boy were they right. Every other evening I have been having this as a treat because of the salty chicken flavor. Tonight the water must have been a wee bit hot because when I added the powder it would not mix right and then I ended up with a solid rubber ball. Flat out weird, and we drink this.
