I have a date! Anyone else on Nov. 27th?

Hi all! I just got a call from my surgeon's office. Looks like my date is Monday November 27th... the day AFTER Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not so sure what to think. Is that a blessing or a curse? At first I thought, oh good... I'll get one last traditional Thanksgiving meal. Then I realized, my doctor (Dr Cantor in Kensington, MD) requires that all patients start a liquid diet two weeks before surgery. He says it really shrinks the liver and gives him more room to work laprascopically. I'm all for him having lots of room to work... so I guess it's clear turkey broth for me this year! Anyway, even that isn't enough to put a damper on the fact that... I HAVE A DATE! And it's this year! Woohooo! Looking forward to getting to know you all! xoxo, robin

Awesome!!! Not to worry... we'll be slurping turkey broth right there with ya! Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn, I see you're the 14th! That's wonderful! I'll meet you on the loser's bench. Save me a seat! Your blog post today made me giggle. In my opinion, melted ice cream MUST be a liquid. In fact, add a little protein powder to it and it's a MEAL! My doctor requires 2 weeks of a liquid diet before surgery. I'm guessing melted ice cream is sounding like a good last meal to me! I know you can do the 4 lbs. Keep me posted! xoxo, robin

Great! Another girl in Maryland, I am Linda my surgery is Nov 9 at Johns Hopkins! Good Luck to all of us!
