Back from ER. I was concerned bc I had a very right red eye and two swollen ankles and my blood pressure at ER was in the 200’s. I have never had that high. Had ultrasound on both legs and labs, along with chest X-ray. They determined I’m retaining fluids. Thank God no blood clots! Suggested I could wear compression stockings and for me to rest and elevate legs. Gave me a diuretic for 3 days to reduce swelling. The awful looking red eye was not so urgent to them. They said it would go away on its own. Thanks for prayers and positive energy. Have to admit it was scary for a bit.

Oh gosh. I'm glad you're ok. Take it easy please 🙏🏾🥺

Home made chicken broth

Jello, pudding, Powerade, Popsicles, Protein Shakes that's it I almost ate watermelon but I know that's a no no

Yes don't do that. I'm four days post op and have come to the realization that my hunger is in my head. I'm not hungry, but my good old Instagram feed full of goodies got me depressed 😔. Drink more fluids, Jello, popsicles. Occupy your time away from food. You'll do fine. I'm rooting for you.

Carla,

I was going to ask are they eating around you. How rudeeeee lol. Make sure you're getting enough out the Protein Shakes. 60-90 grams is what my doc said. That three or 4. You freaking got this. If need be.. leave the room. Or asks them too. My partner ate in the bedroom last night. You got this!!!!

So I found this and I absolutely love it however I just realized the saturated fat is at a 5% but total fat is at a 2% and carbs at 0% sooooo is this allowed or banned from the 2 week liquid diet, surgery is Tuesday and I’m afraid because I had it two days ago and a generous amount in my Decaf coffee

What is it? Try sticking to Only the list the Dr gave. The reason there are restrictions is to help shrink your liver, so it won't be in the way during surgery. I stuck to it and still have hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) not on the list. DON'T DO IT!!!!

Well that’s why I’m asking my list was vague said as long as total fats and carbs were below 5 % it was ok to have however idk about Saturated fats, it’s a zero sugar Starbucks coffee creamer. Sorry about your liver, your dr operated even with it being enlarged?

Right! I’ve been drinking in the one ounce cups, logging my pain meds, breathing in the machine apparatus they give, walking around the house. Whew!! I’m tired, but so happy I’m in this process for my health.
