1st Day of Liquids

OK I hate this! I'm hungry and I'm peeing like every 10 minutes!!!! I've read about people having to do weeks of just liquids prior to surgery. How the H-E-double hockey sticks to they do that!!!!! I am SO glad Irgau doesn't follow that program. I've had about 60 oz of fruit20 and am finishing my first 16oz mug of chicken broth (fat free). That's my dinner! It is really good. I love chicken broth (can I puree wonton soup for after my surgery?). My sweet hubby brought me home a bag of chicken breasts to cook & freeze. He's a Chef. I FINALLY got my OK from BCBS (3:40 pm today!). I called Misty twice today and threatened to go postal if I was doing liquids for nothing! I also requested that Dr. Irgau had Bob MArley's 3 Little Birds playing for me! LOL I'll let you know if he does. My little girl sings that song all the time to me. I'm nervous (just a little) but OK. Feel funny cause I haven't eaten anything solid. Tired too. Guess that's how I'll feel during my pureed stage. Dee

hey dineen you go and keep them straight at the doctor's office lol.you drinking any protein drinks that will help the hungry pangs go away.and honey they said to me you can eat anything as long as it is pureed and i did i pureed a small ham and cheese sub yes ham and cheese sub.i had several 4oz glad bowls of it for a few days lol,but honey it was good.you need anything let me know ok. we are all here to support you and before you know it you will be on the losing side yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.hang in there it's all worth it.take care your friend bonnie

Dee, You will get through the liquid phase...yes peeing is bad in the beginning. I am not sure I could have done what you have to do for your surgery. I did the last supper thing...It was a good last week....I said good bye to so many foods that week! LOL. Good luck with the surgery. We are all here for you.....See you on the losing side soon. Debbie

Thanks, you guys ar so sweet! I was so tired when I went to bed last night. I had class until 8pm and kept yawning thru the entire lecture. I think my ass went numb too. I just left after the lecture instead of going to the computer lab with the rest of the class. Did most of the tutorial when I got home. I'll fini**** tonight, It'll keep me from thinking about food. I have a headache right now. I know it's from not eating but I guess I'll just have to live with it. I know I'll get the GOOD durgs tomorrow morning. LOL Dee

Dee, You will do great. I will be praying for you to have as easy a time as I had. Just do everything they tell you and you will be fine. You know you are making the right decision and that is half the battle. Good Luck, Ellen
