I just realized that I'm suppose to start the my pre-op liquid diet on Feb 14th. It's Valentine's Day, but more importantly it's my 22nd wedding anniversary! You think I can have my last hurrah and go to my favorite restaurant before starting the liquid diet on the 15th?

I had my surgery Dec 17, so couldn't eat much Christmas or New Years! But I survived! My doctor doesn't even do a pre-op diet, just liquids the day before...So I think starting your pre-op on day later won't hurt anything though! Enjoy your anniversary!

If it were me, I would celebrate the day before. Restaurants are less crowded, service is better, food is better! I spent my 22nd anniversary at the Mayo Clinic watching my husband recover from open heart surgery. It was the best anniversary EVER! It wasn't what I was planning for, but it was wonderful.

Does this mean I can be b*tch because of the surgery.....love having an excuse for being a b*tch

Why yes.. Yes you can!

Oh and takingcontrol it's temporary. You will be able to eat again. I could of put it off until after the holidays, in fact that's what my husband wanted!

But I wanted that evil big fat stomach out!!

AnnieB that is a wonderful idea!
