Got the dreaded call again yesterday. Perhaps going to cancel me yet again. Surgery is slated for the 14th, they will let me know tomorrow the 13th. They're making it hard for me to love them. ?. Hate being in limbo.

How frustrating. Fingers crossed you can get it done asap!

Mines on the 14th. I'm so super excited. Been on liquids for about a week. My dr doesn't require that long but I don't want any problems. Tomorrow is water day then surgery. Woo hoo!!! I'm sooo happy for you as well. Good luck to you!!!

It's official!? I am on for tomorrow the 14th. Been doing liquid diet since November 25th. I am so ready. I had prepped myself if it was cancelled. There was an omelet in my near future. Now it will be in the distant future but well worth the wait. Good luck and good health. Tomorrow starts a bright future!

My doc is hard nosed. My BMI is under 40. 1 week of full liquids starting tomorrow followed by 1 week of Clear Liquids. I'm sad. Cooked dinner tonight and told my husband that it was all broth for dinner from now on. lol

Yeah. I asked my nutritionist about your diet; evidently that IS pretty hard core. My doc has me on a high, simple protein diet which includes shakes but is not necessarily liquids. I've thrown some skinless (sauceless) chicken into the mix, along with some scrambled egg whites. Two days before is nothing but clear liquid. I plan to sleep a lot. : )

Pretty jealous of your chicken. ? I had strained cream of broccoli soup tonight with unflavored protein powder added. It was delicious in comparison to the most sickeningly sweet protein shake I forced down for lunch. I am not going to be able to handle those shakes for very long, I'm afraid. I am much more of a savory person.

Hope your december buddies are doing well in their recover! Thinking of you.

I just discovered the fine art of heating store bought chocolate protein shakes and pretending it’s hot chocolate and I’m here to say I’m a fan.
