Day 4 Liquid diet- Really Not so bad

Apr 22, 2011

My surgery is in 10 days! This is what I keep telling myself..... it sounds much more optimistic than 10 more days of this liquid diet. I cannot believe I have made it this far. I made a commitment not to cheat, and I am not, and will not. I want surgery to go well, with no complications and the least risk as possible and I have had 6 months to prepare for this 2 week fast ( well actually 6 week, if you consider post-op ). As far as difficulty, the first 2 days were the hardest for me. Day one was a little bit hard, day 2 was twice as hard as day 1, and day 3 was only about 1/2 as hard as day one, today seems to be a breeze so far. It is getting easier. The first day I actually had a headache, I think from withdrawls. The one annoying thing is that I always have a bad taste in my mouth??? So far I have been just consuming my shakes, sugar free jello, and propel. Not too creative, I know. Easter is on Sunday though (at our house), so I have tons of family coming. Needless to say, but I. AM. DREADING. IT. I will be good though, I promise. I can't imagine messing this up and having to do this over, or have the incisions without the surgery, because my liver was too big. Oh yes and so far I have dropped 5 lbs since the start of my liquid diet. Not too bad, eeh?
