It has finally hit me that in less than 2 weeks I'll be having the surgery. So many emotions and I don't know how to handle them. Trying to keep busy especially since I've been on the liquid diet for 2 days now. It's going good considering I'm drinking every 2-3 hours. I never knew that broth tastes so good The one thing I'm not used to is getting up 2-3 times a night to use the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. I'm on one kidney, so I'm used to using the bathroom at least twice a night. But with all the Water I've been drinking lately, I think I pee more than I sleep! :-) I think its starting to hit us all. I'm getting so nervous and can't stop researching before and after pics. Ugh, May, just get here.

I'm doing the same thing. I got a binder from my surgeon as to what will happen after the surgery regarding food. I have been researching everything I can puree. So far I have a few ideas!

May is going to be a great month

I'm finding that most of us having the surgery have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. What is the purpose of this....my doctor doesn't have me on it.[/quote']

The liquid diet is to help shrink your liver so it easier for them to work on you

Ya, my surgeon says our pre op diet is to shrink the liver for easy access to do it laparoscopic. So, you are correct. :-)
