surgery pushed back

[Jackie8508 7]

I was scheduled for surgery on the 29th but because of my blood work it had to be pushed back to Feb 10th. I'm not upset about this because my birthday is the 13th and this is my gift to myself. The problem that I do have is that I already started my liquid diet on Saturday. I now have to go back to eating regular food and restart the liquid diet on Monday.

Congrats! You should do a modified liquid diet. Maybe liquids all day and a sensible dinner. That way, is easier to transition back to all liquids! Good luck!

Jackie, is the blood work the reason you have to go back to the regular diet?

[Jackie8508 7]

The blood work is not the reason I have to go back to my regular diet. They told me because of the surgery being pushed back they want me to increase my calories so that when my liver will shrink like its supposed to. They are worried that it will get "fat" if I am on the liquid diet for too long. I don't know but I am kind of glad they told me this. Now that I am eating "real" food I find that I really didn't miss it that much.
