Sometimes I wish I was alone.

I am a single mother of three 8 (diabetic) 5 and 4 yr olds. So I am the one who prepares their food and I am 4 days into my pre-op diet and it is becoming extremely hard to maintain this liquid diet. I am on a very strict diet 4 Protein shakes and SF Jello and ice pops. So me and the kids came to their great grandmother house, I thought it would be easier for me because I would not have to prepare their meals but in fact it is still hard because everyone is eating and I think their great grandmother is fixing all of my favorites to stir me away from the surgery... ughh I need help because I feel like I am going to eat something uggh I want some grilled chicken or baked fish.

Its super hard but every time you want to eat something remember your health during and after surgery and how your liver being smaller will be better for many reasons and how your kids depend on you. You can do it stay focused. :)

Also give a call to your nutritionist! Discuss some of these issues. I'm sure you will get some. reassurance.
