Alright! And another DS'er!
I just started my liquid diet this morning
Ain't that gonna be fun over Easter. No Red Tulip Bunny rabbits:( Whenever I think like that I tell myself "suck it up princess". I want this surgery and no amount of red Tulip chocolate bunnies could drag me away from it!
Don't forget that excercise helps to shrink your liver and make you better prepared for surgery as well, so try walking for half an hour a day if you can.
BTW, I am also on my liquid protein diet. Started it yesterday. I get 5 low carb protein drinks a day plus I can have sugar free clear liquids. How bout you?

To prepare I am mainly just trying some of the different protein powders and drinks to see what I like and what I don't like. I know my tastes will change but I am hoping that the ones I find Iike now I will continue to like. I have yet to attend a support group meeting and I feel this is the biggest thing I need to do prior to this surgery. I am getting the house ready for my weeks of no lifting and I am cleaning my closet of things that are currently a bit to big. I will never wear those clothes again so out they go.
The first day of the liquid diet was a bit rough. I did not feel hungry at all. The hardest part is the feeling of needing to put something in my mouth and chew. I have SF gum in desk at work and chewed on that for the satifsfaction. I am counting yesterday as the day that my eating habits really changed and I am starting my new life.
