13 days and counting... First day of liquid diet... AHHH!
I know it will fly by, but today was slower than molasses... 13 sleeps from now the surgery will be done and I couldn't be happier (although more nervous than I thought I'd be)
Any thoughts on how to get through the BWH pre-op liquid diet? I know each hospital is different but I'm looking for ideas so I don't get sick of cold, chocolate protein shakes. :)

Congratulations. Almost there! I'm not sure if yours is the same but I was allowed to have jello, decaf tea, non sweetened applesauce and sugar free popsicles. It got easier as time went on and as long as I didn't go out and watch other people eat! It was a tough few weeks and I didn't do much but it flew by! And I lost 20 pounds! Just keep in mind what you want! I do the gold standard chocolate protein shakes and they taste pretty good.
Hey Amy congrats... the waiting is the hardest part!!!
Liquid protien shakes are gonna be your "thing" for a while so it's good to sort of teach your brain to enjoy/expect them... you get one "sensible" meal right or are you ALL liquid??
If you have a blender throw in some cubes and make it a chocolate /slushy/milkshake textured treat. It's important to stick with it... will make the procedure a breeze for your surgeon!
