but whatever

well just tell me what you guys bought for weeks one and two, thanks! :bored:

Good luck Lemon.

I am ultra scared of them telling me my liver isn't "right". :thumbup: I've been good... but good enough? I dunno. The jury is out. My surgery is tomorrow so I suppose I'll find out soon enough!

I have my nectar ready to go though. :thumbup: I've been living off of the "clear" stuff for 2 days... who knew sugar free popsicles were so darn good?!?! :thumbup: I do have "clear" stuff bought... so hopefully tomorrow surgery will go well and my liver will "pass" the test. *crosses fingers*

good luck! <3

After Gas-x strips my best friend was a cold pack! I used it a couple times a day, mainly on the port incision. Lowered discomfort greatly!

I appreciated your list. I'm less anxious if I am making some preperations. I am pre-surgery.THANKS>

I loved the Campbell's V8 Soups.

I also lived on Sugar Free Popsicles.

Erin, your day will be here before you know it!! :cool2:

V8 soups, eh? Hmmm... I shall add those to my list. Thanks!! :smile:

its almost here :biggrin:

G2 is good, it has electrolytes but only 25 cals per 8 oz. That isnt bad, especially considering you won't get many calories in per day anyway.

When I was preparing for surgery I made a shopping list. I still have it... however I'm not sure why. That's neither here nor there though. :skep:

I hope this helps! PS you can change it to whatever you want it to say.

I love this list I will use it! Awesome!! Thanks!:thumbup:

This was a very informative thread that helped me ass a few things that I hadn't thought of to my list! THANKS!!!
