Came as a bit of a shock. Guess I had it in the back of my head that I'd stuff my fave a day or two before the surgery, but no. Okay. And their explanation about shrinking my liver before surgery makes sense. Get those protein shakes ready.

Thanks for the words of support everyone. I have to admit I've been bad the past couple of days...LOL. But I have my protein powder and lots of advice from my nutritionist, and obviously right here.
