My surgery is in 2 days and tomorrow is Clear liquids only. Tonight I am making dinner for myself and family and it is so weird. I keep wondering how strange it will be after this when either for a couple months I will not be able to have anything they are having or even after just a few bites of what they are having. I wonder if my cooking will suffer because I can not taste as much. I wonder if I will forget to feed kids because I am concentrating on Protein, mushy stuff, Water intake and not hungry.

But tonight is dinner as usual as we all sit down at the table as a family like we do every other night. Tonight I will be having 3 ounces of mediterranean spice turkey tenderloins, 1 cup of roasted herb parmesan acorn squash and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and apple cider glazed brussel sprouts. Tonight dinner will be yummy.

Tonight I am sticking with the plan and having what I am allowed to have.

Tommorow is the start of a new adventure, a new way of living and eating and a new me.

Blerg....tonight I burnt the brussel sprouts because I was writing this.

Good luck on your surgery. I will keep you in my prayers.

Good luck!!!…my thoughts and prayers are with u!!!

You'll do great!!! And I'm thinking my family is going to eat healthier WITH me!!! So once I'm done w all the phasing I'll be able to eat exactly what they're eating and vise versa!!!

We can do it!!!

I was just worried about remembering to cook and shop is all. I am not worried about when on solids. Just all the liquid and mushy stuff. It does not appear to be a problem though.

I have been home 3 full days.

I am boiling a chicken to make a pot of chicken Soup for dinner tonight. So I can have some too. broth only of course.

They had sandwiches and an apple for lunch and I was able to make Breakfast this morning so they had eggs with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, turkey bacon and some homemade salsa.

Happy kids and hubby.

Congratulations on surviving your surgery.
