My date July 27th.

My date is 7/27/05 and my liquids starts the 13th, and that is on this Weds. It sure has gotten here fast. I hope I can do the whole 2 week liquid thing like Dr. Voellinger wants. What happens if you slip up and do some cream of wheat or potato soup or something like that? Don't get me wrong I am going to do my very best, because I need this surgery bad. And I don't want to do anything to sabatoge it. I was just wondering. Rita

Rita - Two weeks holy cow...I only had to do two days and I was going crazy the first day. I give you all props for going to weeks. I don't think I could do it. I did slip a little because I was feeling sick.....I had some beefy mushroom soup - its thicker then broth - I also had a string cheese stick. If you do slip I don't think they will say no you can't have it but don't make it a big slip.....like slip into a hot fudge sundea or a steak or something. I wish an uneventful surgery for you and a speedy recovery!!! Take Care! Jenn

My date is July 26th. I have to start a two week Atkins diet. I was dreading that...but I feel for you. I don't think one or two slips during a two week diet would have you loose the chance of surgery. Your Dr. is mostly wanting to shrink your liver and get a tiny bit of weight off prior to surgery. Just don't go crazy and do your best! You can do it!!!! Linda PS I can't believe we are about to be two weeks out either!!
