6 days to go and lasted my first day of pre-op liquids

Next Monday I'll be on the other side...

Yesterday was my first pre-op liquid day.  WHY did I find it fairly easy?  Don't get me wrong, I was hungry a couple of times. Not mentally hungry, but physically.  I did sleep more than usual, so that helped get me through it. I think the soup broth really helped.  I added Taco Bell hot sauce, so it gave it some taste and the heat made it fill me up.  I take a can of soup and strain out all of the bits and pieces.  I find that much more satisfying than a bullion cube (and far less salt) or liquid broth.  It also has flavor.  I use progresso light, healthy choice, or just good old fashioned campbells.  I bought what was on sale since I was just drinking the liquid.  I don't care for "cream of..." soups, so that is my solution to that.

I didn't realize Kozy Shack has sugar free pudding.  It's really good. In fact it's less in sugars and has protein compared to the FF SF jello puddings.

Well, I'm starting day 2 of liquids.  Let's see how nice I am in 24 hours! LOL

 I started the liquid diet last Tuesday just to see if I could do it because my surgeon doesn't require it, and i also found it pretty easy.

Six more days, woohoo!!!!!!

 What time do you go into the hospital Monday? I had my final meeting with my surgeon yesterday, and he said he put me down as the first case, so I have to be there by 630am!

I won't know until tomorrow I think.  I guess they'll call me and let me know.  I'm hoping I'm 2nd...that would be a good time :)  I'm staying at the hard rock hotel and casino the night before, so that should be fun :)  Good luck, girly and we'll talk after we're finished!!!!
