One week to go...

So a week from today I will be in Monterrey to get prepped for my surgery. I'm on day three of the liquid diet right now and I really miss real food. I went to the bank today and got the cashiers checks for the surgery so that is taken care of. I just need to call Verizon and find out about the costs to use my phone in Mehico in case of an emergency.

Two days until the dreaded diet

So I start the dreaded pre-op diet Monday. I have five days of "full liquids" and then five days of "clear liquids". Full liquids include Jello, light yogurt, skim milk, tomato soup, etc. Clear liquids are things like broth, tea, sugar free popsicles, Crystal light, and the like. I will also have to drink 2-3 protein shakes a day. The goal of this crazy diet is to shrink my liver in order for the surgery to be easier and have a lower risk of complications. After the surgery, I will be on the full liquid diet for a month. I can slowly after a couple weeks start adding things like mashed potatoes, sugar-free pudding, scrambled eggs, etc. The next six weeks are going to suck!
