Yes, I better be saying that today because it’s pretty much all I can eat (that and ice pops and Italian ice, and broth – ooh). Doc has me on a “liquid” diet in preparation for my surgery tomorrow. Why I must do one step short of a colonoscopy preparation (don’t ask about the laxatives I must do later), for an oophorectomy, I do not know. I tried calling the office on Friday after my MRI to find out but they close at noon on Friday – who knew? You can bet I’ll be calling in a couple of hours though … I’m already hungry.
Yesterday, it was a no fiber day (again, if you want to clean out, I’d think you’d want fiber). I have no idea how people survive on Atkins but man all I wanted last night was some fruit and vegetables and a whole wheat bun for my burger. Guess you always want what you can’t have.
I’m going to be a real pleasure in about 8 hours.
Can’t wait until tomorrow.

Been thinking a lot about you. Hope all is well.
Kim, I’ve been thinking about you today and wondering how the surgery went.
Sending good thoughts your way.
Hey Kim – I know it is too late for this time, but if you need to go on a liquid diet again for any reason, I can recommend the APRICOT flavored jello – really good – especially when made with ginger ale. And when you are ONLY eating liquids, I rationalize the calories in the ginger ale don’t really make that much of a difference.

Just catching up. What a shame that you have to go through all this but, as you say, at least this time it’s preventative.
Yeah, I never got that no fibre thing either. Anyhow…
Best wishes for tomorrow. I’ll be thinking about you.
This doesn’t sound like fun. But thank goodness it’s not for long.
You have survived so much the the past year I have no doubt that you will get through this with flying colours – plus your usual great sense of humour! Good luck tomorrow.
