Default Started my liquid diet today!

Well I started my liquid diet today, which wasn't so bad, but I am sure it will get harder. My surgery is on April 30th and I am getting so excited, also a bit nervous. But I am ready !!! Wish me luck on this liquid diet I am sure I will need it!

I can tell you that it will get easier after about the 3rd day. I am in day 6 and I am getting used to it. I am also (my wife too) are schedualed for April 30th. I had no energy for the first few days, but am regaining my normal energy levels back. The biggest challange was going to the Flyers playoff game Thursday night. Seeing all those tastey snacks, Pizza, Popcorn, Sausage sandwiches, fries ECT.... (forgot beer, mmmmmmm beer) I made it through, it was tempting to cheat, but I am going for a new lifestyle here and any good change is not easy. Needless to say, I made it through and still had a great time. Just hang in there and remember it is for your health and it will all work out in the end!!!!!
