So Craig and I went out to enjoy all of the foods that I wouldn't be able to eat for the rest of my life. Denny's, 5Guys burgers (MY FAVORITE) and hot wings today. He got me barbecue last week...it was killer. I'm really going to miss all the bad foods that are so delicious, like 5 guys. Been thinking about taking us to Miami once just for a few days for fun right before surgery. He's been absolutely wonderful so far helping me out with surgical stuff. That was supposed to be Joe but....different story. I am very lucky to have Craig helping me so far with the pre and post surgical BS that has to be done. Today he ate and drank my nasty liquid diet foods and taught me to chug the gag-inducing liquid "meals."
Uhm.... The liquid diet is pretty gross as I've said. The shakes taste like bloody slimfast shakes. The soup is terrible and I have to chug it...let's not even talk about the bars. I started one this afternoon and haven't been able to finish it. Here's some pictures of the products I'm consuming and one of me saying good-bye to food. That's Craig's hand in the picture, you can't see but he has a teardrop tattooed on his finger so it's supposed to be me "crying."

So, why does it have to be Optifast?
It shrinks your liver so that it's easy for the surgeon to maneuver around in your abdomen.
Wow ... sounds scary ...
