Thanks Ruth...

But I'd still like to have some cheese to go with my "whine" 

Hey,

Day .....what day is this? (counting fingers) today is day 5 and it is much easier than the first two days, I had a headache the first two days where I thought my head would explode and I just wanted to EAT!!!

Now i am getting better, snack on sugar free jello with lit and fit yoghurt over it, it helps you to "chew" something and fills you!

Good luck, I feel your pain

Hopefully tomorrow will be better... 

That's the whole thing I think...I just have the need to "chew"...
but yogurt and jell-o just ain't cuttin' it........
and it's too damn cold for popsicles !! 

Yeah....the two week preop liquid diet sucks eggs, I was hungry ALL the time - some people get use to it, I was not one of them....the good news the preop diet is only two weeks.....the bad news is you get to do it all over again for the postop liquid diet.....at least you won't be hungry then!!!!

Seriously, I know it's difficult - but I also know you can do it.

Thanks Candace 


The 2-week post-op diet for Dr. Clough's patients goes from Phase 1 to Phase 3 while still in the hospital    Probably not gonna be much in the mood for food...
BUT...at least the option is there   

Awwww......shucks......I forgot his program was different than the other EMMC docs.....oh no....this means you're gonna miss the "I'll puke if I have to drink another protein shake" part? Hmmmm......wonder what delights you will have instead........

Are you getting excited? Nervous?

eta: Wanna come clean my bathroom?

The "sample menu" in the notebook kinda scares me...
it has an egg w/ cheese.......egg salad with LF mayo........tuna w/ LF mayo
even 2 - 3oz. of chicken w/ fat-free gravy ?!?!
I can't even imagine................we'll see.........???

Yup...I'm excited & nervous all at the same time...but I think everybody gets nervous with just the thought of surgery, no matter what type...

I'm gonna pass on the bathroom ~ but Thanks for thinking of me 

Enjoy the rest of your evening ~

You are doing  awesome  Deb  and it will get easier.

When it comes to dr cloughs   diet  changes  you need to   remember to   drink  and drink is the most important the first  two weeks after surgery.   Just because  he says you can have food.  it does not always agree with you.  so please  be careful.  

But it wont be long now and we have   more room on the losers bench with  angela and i  moving the scale today.

have a great day!!!!

Deb- Day 2 was th worst for me. After that it was smooth sailing.

Do a variety of different liquid protein meals to keep things interesting. Try cooking the SF custard- it's good.
