My surgery is scheduled for 11/8 at 7:30 AM. I've been on the liquid diet for 11 days now, and I won't lie, it hasn't been easy. I attended a party for my 3 year old niece and all I had was beef broth and water, while everyone else was eating baked ziti, pulled pork, roasted turkey, terriaki chicken etc. I'm sure you get the picture. Oh well, the end result will be worth it! Good luck to all
