First Day of Liquids

So today I started my first day of liquids and I'm so happy! I don't have to make any decisions on what to eat for the next 3 weeks. I had last food syndrome really, really bad and I've been eating like a pig and feel like crap - so I'm just thrilled to be on the liquids and not feeling all bogged down from eating junky. Yesterday I was on a feeding fest - I had two fried eggs with sausage and cheese on a kaiser roll, I had a huge steak sandwich with peppers, onions, mushroom and cheese and curly fries, I ordered fried sea scallops with fries, I had about 5 lindt chocoloates (those should be illegal) and a big huge mug of cookies and cream ice cream...........Yesterday was the LAST day I will EVER eat like that again in my life and it feels so liberating to say that! I know that I will not be perfect, but I also know I will never combine all those foods together like that in one single day - ever - it was disgusting, I was bloated and had heart burn....... So I couldn't choke down the IMPACT advanced recovery - OMG that stuff is nasty! So I'm doing plan B, which is 4 boosts a day and all the clear stuff I want. So far I feel good - I had a boost for breakfas****er, chicken broth and a boost for lunch - I will get through this and my liver will be looking just fine in 6 days! Best Regards, Tammy Count Down: 6 days!

Tammy, I am sooooo Happy for you. I know how I felt at your stage too. I am curious to see if you are still nice and calm on day 5 of liquids. haha. I was okay the 1st few days, but then I wanted a WHOLE cheese pizza. LOL When I was in the hospital, Bette came to see me from this board. Boy was it wonderful to have someone there who had already been through all this. I would be honored if you would like a visotor at the hospital. If you need your space, thats okay too, but I loved to have Bette there and she was able to answer all my blunt questions that I didnt want to ask just any nurse, and quite frankly I liked asking her 1st since the nurse didnt have the procedure done herslef. If you want alone time thats okay too, but I am closer than you to the hospital and I would love to visit if you'd like that. Let me know if you have any questions. You couldnt sit me down at the point you are at now. I was like running around like a mad man. Its very exciting! You go girl!!! Best of luck to you, Bree Counting down with......6 more days!

Oh Bree - trust me, I want that pizza and probably always will - espcially since my very favorite pizza place moved to one mile away from my house (Frankies Firehouse Pizza - OMG their pizza is the BEST!).... I really appreciate your offer to visit - I'll only be there one day - let me get back to you on that - only because I'm usually a crab when I'm not feeling good and I've never met you before so I couldn't be crabby to you..... If not, I'll be home alone for a week or two so maybe you could come and visit me at home - I'll feed you some broth and jello! I'll be in touch...........Thank you so much for this offer Bree, it is so sweet and thoughtful of you! Best Regards, Tammy Count Down: 6 days!

Bree - I thought a lot about it and I would be totally honored if you could come and see me on the second day I'm there - is that possible for you? Please let me know (send your phone number too). Thank you so much Bree! Best Regards, Tammy Count Down: 5 Days!

Okay Tammy I think my cholesterol just went up 20 points reading your post :LOL YIKES!!!! You didn't do a last meal you did a last buffet!!! Good luck with the liquid diet thing.

I know - that's only one day - I can't even talk about the last week! I'm on day two and doing okay - I have a little bit of a headache and feel a little edgey - like something is missing - but I'm hanging in! Best Regards, Tammy Count down: 5 days!

Tammy, dont feel like you have to, I know how it is. I will come if you want me to, but I am in enfield, so its easy to visit at home to. Whatever you need, you just let me know. I will e-mail you with my cell #. Bree

Hi Tammy... Hang in there girl. Just a few more days to go!! You'll be there before you know it... and it's going to be SO worth it for you!! -CJ
