Surgery tomorrow & the most amazing scents are happening downstairs!

Oh my! Anyone else struggling/starving on this lovely Easter Day? Everyone is downstairs feasting & I'm hiding upstairs pretending to have a headache cause the family doesn't know about surgery tomorrow. So my question is...with just the right amount of butter could mashed potatoes be considered a liquid??? (J/k, kinda)

Totally. We went to Red Lobster and I ordered gumbo so I could eat the broth only. No cheddar bay biscuits.

Everyone was asking if I wasn't hungry.

And of course you replied no, I'm not hungry ;). I guess I should be happy that I have another room to hide in as I could not stay away from cheddar bay biscuits!

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!! I'm having surgery tomorrow morning as well. I'm saying I'm not feeling well so I can hide from the food!!

Good luck guys....

I am also having my surgery tomorrow and have been on the liquids for two days. I basically have stayed away from everyone (they deserve to live) and been in my room waiting. I detest chicken broth and really have not found much else that is clear except water, weak green tea and white grape juice. I finally took something to sleep about 10 minutes ago and counting down until I can fall asleep. Alarm set, bag packed and I am ready to roll in the morning at 5 am. I just want the hunger pains to stop.

Good luck to all who are joining the losers bench tomorrow!! I hope I'll be joining you all soon!????

Good luck to you all...hopefully you get a good nights rest!

The subject of who to tell!!! I feel like I don't want to tell people cause I don't want to have to talk them into why this is a good option for me. I don't want criticism. It's like when I finally picked a name for my kids before they were born. I put a lot of thought into their name. Someone would ask what are u gonna name baby if it's a girl. I would tell them. And they would wrinkle up nose and say ohhh I don't know if I like it. Really at this point keep your comments to yourself!

Anyway sorry- guess I just needed to say that! Ha

Good luck to all your amazing people who are scheduled tomorrow. Please let us know how u are doing! I will be checking up on u all.
