My surgery date is October 8th. I start my liquid diet Sept. 24th and have to stay on it for two weeks. I am not looking forward to the liquids for that long and I'm scared I won't make it that long with just liquids. I will just have to keep reminding myself that I won't get the surgery if I don't stick to the liquid diet. I too, am cleaning my house (deep cleaning). I don't want to have to worry about that kind of stuff, even tho it will need dusting and vacuuming before I am able. I went through my cabinets, fridge, and freezer and got rid of all the foods I can't have. My poor cabinets are now bare. Fridge is cleaned out and filled with Muscle Milk Light, jell-o and bottled water. I wish everyone all the best in their new adventure finding the healthy you! May God be with all!
