I have to agree with Nicole on this one! I'm on a liquid diet and It will be very hard for me to go and not be able to have one of their famous crabcakes. Oh no!!!!! It's bad enough I have to go to a bridal shower Sat and watch everyone eat yummy food, and cake! Any advice on this?

I never really understood the pre-op liquid diets, although I know it's mandated by a lot of surgeons. Are you only allowed clear liquids, or can you have full liquids - like the broth from cream of crab soup? Not trying to make it worse, just trying to help. I agree, it IS a challenge, but you've come this far, you can do it. As far as the bridal shower, well, yeah, that's gonna be a challenge too, so take your water, take your drink mix, and if you have any recipes for a really good protein shake, make one up, put it in a fancy travel mug and have it at. Believe me, once you're post-op and you go to something like this, you may actually be sickened by the types and amounts of food you see people eat!! Hang in there, Tuesday is RIGHT around the corner!!!! You can do this!!! And we're behind you!!! Tia

Nicole - I know you were directing this at Jamie, but I knew you were being sarcastic - I am, too, don't worry. Sometimes, people don't know how to take it. Don't worry, I think Jamie gets us!!!! T
