JAN 8TH
HI there,
Im having surgery on January 8th and I am nervous as hell!!!!!!!!! But I am also excited too!
My pre-op diet however isnt as restrictive as yours. I have 2 protein shakes during the day (breakfast and lunch) with one serving of fruit allowed during breakfast and 3oz of lean meat and one cup veggies for dinner.
I am thinking of going to total protein shakes starting tomorrow though. Just want to make sure this liver is good and shrunken.
As far as work goes, I am an on-call employee and haven't really been needed much and to be honest I haven't really been asking for hours either so that works both ways.
My mom will be here Saturday (the day I get out of hospital) to help me with the family and home.
How have you been doing and are you all prepared for this big step now? I am so ready!

Jen,
I am a Jan 8th person too. I have been doing liquid diet since last Friday. No issues so far, but can't wait to eat something with some texture and flavor.
I worked today and will work tomorrow. I am taking Wed off just for R&R and to do the lovely bowel prep (Citrate of Magnesium).
If all goes as planned, I will return to work on Jan 26th,
Always,
Barb

My surgery date is tomorrow. I'm so ready for it to be done already.
I'm just soooo hungry. I've been on a liquid diet for a week- 3 slim fasts a day, sugar free jello and broth are all i'm allowed to have. I'm chomping on some sugar free gum right now.
Gotta leave for the hospital at 5:30am tomorrow. Let's get this show on the road!!!
