After my slip up over the weekend, the boiled egg debacle, I've decided to face this liquid diet head on with all of my might. I made green chile stew last night and it will be leftovers for 2 nights this week for the kids so I won't have to be in the kitchen cooking (Tue & Wed). Then, a free for all night where everyone makes their own dinner, whatever they choose to make, which is Thursday, and then my daughter will make dinner on Friday, and one night my husband will take the kids out for pizza on Saturday, then I'll make dinner Sunday and then we leave for El Paso Sunday night. DONE! I can get through this. Limiting my time in the kitchen cooking is key for me right now. My daughters both know how to make my shakes so they've volunteered to make some of them because as my youngest (15 year old) says: "You've been taking care of us for most of your life, now it's our turn to take care of you for a while" Awwww!

I'm so nervous, ONE WEEK FROM NOW I'LL BE IN SURGERY!!!!!

Great job figuring out a plan that will work for your situation! I'm so glad that your family is so supportive. Best wishes for an easy recovery. You've got this! :)

I am very blessed with a very supportive family. My teenagers are being really great throughout this journey and my husband....I can't even begin to tell you how amazing he's been. My recovery will be easy in part because of them :) Thanks for the kind words

You will do fine, we both will. When do you start your bowel prep and go on a clear liquid diet, I start my on Friday. SO for me its getting so close as well and I started dreaming about it.

I agree, Gwen. I don't know if I could have made it this far without my family and they've definitely stepped up to help me through the rest of my journey
