Husband is grilling a big steak and I've just fixed his baked potato for him, starting my second week of full liquids. Just missing food today.

This is only my first day. All liquids in preparation for surgery. I had to make food all day for my kids and for my husband. I have to admit this is just harder than I even anticipated. And I know I still have 13 more days of this. I know it will be worth it but right now it’s difficult.

Make sure you're getting high protein per drink protein will fill you up !

This too shall pass!

And d'you know what? - One day you'll eat steak and baked potato again (but just a little bit!).

I just never realized that the food smelled so good. I'm getting my protein I just can't wait for soft foods. Liquids are getting old. Not much difference between clear or full, just nothing to chew. Four more days and I can do this!
