Hello Miranda: So glad everything went well and you're feeling great. Here's to the liquid stage....I asked Jill if gin and tonic was considered a clear Fluid but no go..:)

I'm on full fluids and pretty soon I'm sure I'll be floating away....:)

Gin and tonic is not on the list!?!? Forget it im not doing this! :)

Well 1 more day of clear for me. Ask me how excited I am to have fat free pudding! That will soo be the highlight of the day.

So how do you feel about going on to this stage? Are you like me who just wants to eat something...anything....a peice of something!?!?

To be honest it has not been the end of the world though. Mr. Yoda has given some great recipies for pureed that I have to say I am looking forward to....ok did I really just say that!?!?!

Ok so here we are 10 days after surgery...im hungrey!!!!!!!!! I am still on Full Fluid. It soooo sucks. I go to puree on Thursday.

Like someone mentioned it b4 and I will agree....I am soo obsessed with food right now. its all I want and think about. Even food I hated b4 the surgery look sooo good to me know. I just want to have a little something something.

The last few days have been rough. Had a work thing on Friday. Everyone went to Mandrain for lunch. I just went home during luch hour. There was a BBQ this Sat and Sun. It smells soooooo good. Just one bite! What would be the damage...thats what runs through my head a zillion time a day.

Rough patch right now! Getting through it though!

Miranda,

I know the 'can't stop thinking about food thing" all i want to do is eat! I'm not even hungry though, i have one serving(1/2 cup) of Soup in the morning, some juice for lunch and then some pudding for dinner! And I'm basically just have this for the flavor!

I soo agree with you on the conrtaption we lay on..When I walked in I was like "what...that's not an operating table like on greys anatomy, are they doing a pap aswell??" You should have seen the fight I put up when she opended the back of the gown "But...my butt will be bare." She was very nice in letting me do it discreatly.

Well puree for me tommorow!!!! I talked to the new staff Rosanne at TLBC today. Shes awesome and from Oshawa like me!! She told mje the food does not have to be super pureed. Like I thought I had to puree scrambled eggs, cottage cheese etc. She said no just chew really good. So im soooooo excited for tommorow!!!

What shall I have first!!?!? :(

Confafo...im not so sure you can have 1/2 cup of Soup in one shot. I would have like 1/4 cup juice, 1/4 cup of pudding and 1/4 protien drink at each meal. That would fill me up (i guess :D the best it could. So that may help with the hunger.

That was so funny about the chair in the operation room. When she told me to lay down I was trying to hold the gown in all the right places. She was like "ok so just open the back". I said "well then you ight see my bum". She laughed and said "oh we will be seeing alot more later"

I was like huhhhh. lol.

I know what you mean. I asked if my legs were going to stay so far apart and she said yes, the doctor sits between them. Poor guy!!

Yes, the contraption was something, eh? I was "lucky" I got to keep my panties on (TOM). Apparently, that happens quite a bit - you can't predict Mother Nature.

Also, the nurse mentioned that the anesthesia can bring it on right after surgery. I thought I would have major cramps and just feel awful the entire time, but I guess the pain killer that they give you takes away everything since I didn't have any cramps at all.

Didn't it the stuff burn going up your arm, eh? Good thing it knocks you out seconds later.

The doctor sat where!?!?!? I sooo didnt know that. I actually didnt want to ask.

I didnt feel any pain at all. All I thought while I was lying there is "what the hell am I doing right now"

I didnt even flinch when he put the needle in.

Crazy how the mind wonders in crazy situations :)

Ain't that chair the funniest thing? When I walked in the OR I told the nurses that they had the wrong room because even though I had a big belly I was not about to deliver...

And then they told me the Dr was going to sit between my legs....my last words before I went off to la-la land was "thank God I waxed...I'm Italian you know" - apparently they all got a good chuckle out of that one (but I honestly don't remember saying it)..go figure!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
