MsCyrus 90 Posted December 19, 2015 I got my surgery approval yesterday, YEAH, and surgery is 12/28 so the 7 day liquid only starts THIS SUNDAY! I normally cook a huge Breakfast on Christmas Eve to be ready Christmas morning. Then I start cooking 2 days before so all of the sides and Desserts are ready and I don't have to cook at all on the actual holiday. You all have encouraged me to still cook but so much smaller amounts. I can take one day off from liquid and be very careful. I will make eggs with veggies in some sort of a festive frittatta and skip the biscuits/gravy/stuffed french toast/bacon/donuts/sausage I normally make the day before. There will be no mimosas this year either. No Baileys in our coffee. I am not going to mind either. My poor husband might but he would never complain. dinner will be a tiny standing rib roast and mashed potatoes. Nothing else. Thanks to you all for helping me decide skipping Christmas was a bad idea.We are not doing the tree or decorating since surgery is the Monday right after. I don't want to be stuck with having all that work to pack everything back up the following week. My sweet husband just bought me a gorgeous chocolate leather power reclining couch. My recovery will be so cozy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
