Ok, it's crying time Now!!!

I got the word from the nurse that it is time TODAY for me to go on a liquid diet!!!! I was soooo hoping that was just an order for folks with very high BMI but I got nailed! So now I have to go chasing around Hong Kong to find Protein powder, remember, I had ordered it and had it shipped to my daughter's house, and had planned a trip to wal-mart. Now we do have the bottled green tea, and I have the tea leaves too, but sugar-free stuff is kind of hard to get, I can get snapple, cokes are out out out, soup is no problem, chinese looooooovvvvvvvveeee soup, the clear kind, but I guess that it is time for the search to begin. I have Crystal lite lemonaide in my pantry, I stocked up in US and brought it back and a bag of Splenda, have strawberries and bought a blender so I guess I could have a shake with milk????? She said too that I could have a boneless piece of chicken and a salad at night, if the liquids were too much and I can do that with no problem....Waaaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaa I havent had candy, and other stuff in months!!!!! How could I have a fatty liver????? We don't have good meats here, they are completely lean! no fat at all!!!! How am I going to handle the plane, that is a long time! I can bring big bottles of water but since I drink 3 to 4 liters a day, it is tooo heavy to bring that much and I usually freeze it so it is cold. Hmmmmm any suggestions?????

How long will you be on liquids? I don't have any suggestions, just sympahty!lol Do they have carnation instant breakfast there? It's not good but it's a protein that my dr suggested. DAWN

I will look to see if I can find it. Sugar free version is the tough part! Supposed to be the next 2 weeks until surgery date...... Thanks, Cheryl

Good luck, i only had to do 2 days! Bless your heart, you can do it though! Have you had your "last meal"? DAWN

Nooooooooooo I got the news today at 6 am when I checked the computer!!!!! Boo Hoo!

They should have plenty of bottled water and diet drinks on the plane....Juices are good....Other than that you have my sympathy and I might just sneak in a last meal!!!! AND I would go with the chicken breast and salad at night! I will think of you constantly in the next couple of weeks.... Smoochies Arlies PS the link to the medical Id bracelet sight of Dixie Chick's is on the bottom of mine and Tammy in Mississippi's profiles!

Holy Moly... 2 weeks of liquids? Ouch! I feel for ya honey. Thats going to be miserable. I was on liquids for 2 days and thats it. I thought that was bad enough. 2 WEEKS!! ARGH!! At least you can have a little something for dinner. Let it just melt in your mouth! Savor in the moment. haha... When are you coming home? Its very soon huh?? You said ---"We don't have good meats here, they are completely lean! no fat at all!!!!" --- That is GOOD meat.. HAHA... Thats why us Americans are so fat. We like the fat part. I do anyway. Thats my favorite part. haha.. Just funny how you said that. Gotta go to work. I am praying for you that you dont go crazy on the liquids. CHristine
