Rituals????????

I haven't thought that far in advance.  I have been craving fudge, so I made some and have been slowly eating one piece a day.

Since I work at a university and eat in the cafeteria there, I had dessert every day at lunch during the 3 1/2 weeks between approval and surgery. I pretty much ate all of my favorites but still in moderation. I was so ready for surgery that I didn't want a lot of food, I just wanted to enjoy everything in case there were some things I couldn't tolerate afterwards. Like Freddie, I did start each day with a protein shake for that same month prior to surgery. I didn't have to do a 2 week liquid diet. I just had one day of clear liquids the day before surgery and then nothing after midnight. I didn't have to do a bowel prep either. The clear liquids took care of that for me anyway. LOL (I know, TMI) You'll do fine.  (the other) Susan

LOL.  I had SEVERAL "last" meals.  Chicken and dumplings was one of my favorites.  I missed BK's little cheesy potatoes and decided to try them.  Big mistake!  It was like a log sitting in my stomach.  There are lessons you learn real quick.  It tastes good at the time though.  Ha ha.
