Hi LaChelle - I'm also scheduled for the 27th and well into my 2 week 'liver shrink' diet...having been pretty faithful to it has allowed me to drop 17 pounds pre-surgery. I know it's jus****er weight that comes with a high protein, low carb & fat diet, but it still feels good to step on the scales and see that. Remember: on the 27th the surgeon and team will be working hard to make sure everything goes well and family/friends will be there to worry and watch...our job is to show up on time and then go to sleep. Once we wake up...well, THEN we've got our work cut out for us! So...wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and an absolutely stellar new year/new you! Kathy

Best of luck to you all. I hope your surgery goes uneventfully and your recovery is smooth! Leslie

I have gone as far as pureeing taco meat and refried beans with salsa....and even chili...and it wasn't bad at all. I don't mind the baby food style. At least your mouth will make your mind think that it is actually solids. For my lunch today I fixed spaghetti and noodles and blended them just like always! It worked, and satisfied my hunger. Good luck and God Bless us everyone!!! Here we go!

Well, my dr. required a 2 week full liquid diet, and then Christmas Day, I start my Clear liquid diet. On the 26th, I have to drink one bottle of Magnesium Citrate by 6 pm, and nothing more to drink after 7 pm. I can't have anything with red or grape color for the 25th and 26th. Oh well, at least there is lemonade and apple juice. I can still have boullion, coffee without cream, jello and popcicles. Sounds yummy, doesn't it!!! LOL Good luck with your surgery. I will say a special prayer as well.

Good Luck to you as well!!! Take care and God Bless you! Merry Christmas!
