Default Liquid Diet Here I come!

Well I had my pre-op with my Dr. today and sure enough, he put me on a liquid diet until my surgery date! (need to shrink that fatty liver of mine before surgery).

So hopefully the next 18 days will ~FLY by.

Default Go you!

Too bad you can't look in the mirror and see how slender and attractive your liver will become. I'm sure your doctor will look in there and do a wolf whistle after 18 days!

You'll do it - June 2 is SO SOON! (I have a huge competition the day before so it sure seems soon to me!)

Good luck!

Hi Tawnie


I start my 10 day liquid pre-op today!

We CAN do this


I'm sure I'll have a break down moment or two and post about it!! But, I just think this is a great count down to the other side!!!

Once upon a time I did Optifast, so I know what its like to just drink. Just remember what you are working toward--a better/healthier life for yourself. Yes it bothered me sometimes to not eat with family...I just spent more time with them other than at meals. Take care and Good Luck!!
