Well, I am on day 4 of the pre-surgery diet to shrink my liver. This is horrible. I know it's to make the surgery safer, but my goodness! I have been reading other peoples blogs about their experiences and I know its tough, but I wish my doctor would have put me on the Atkins or something, so at least I could have chewable food. The closest thing I am allowed to have that resembles food is a sugar free Popsicle. At least they taste good. But I seriously want something that I can actually EAT! Right now I am on a restriced liquid diet. I have a list of things I am allowed to have, but primarily its sugar free drinks, lots of protein drinks, caffeine free teas and coffess, broths, sugar free jello, and a few other things. THIS SUCKS!!!! I have had a headache since day 2 (lack of caffeine probably), I am very lethargic, and quite grumpy I might add. But heck, who wouldn't be??? I know its for my own good and part of the process, but I am ready for my surgery date, only 11 more days.
I have a lot more visits to the hospital between now and then. So MAYBE if I keep myself really busy it wont be as bad. I will continue to blog as things happen or change.
