one day to go

Today is my required 24hrs of clear liquids prior to surgery. I took the day off from work so that I could get the house in order before going to the hospital tomorrow. My parents will be here to help my husband with the  children and to make sure I am resting like I should. Of course them coming makes me feel the extra need to straighten up today.

I also have to FINALLY go get supplies for my clear and full liquids weeks. Last night I had a good southern girl last meal - Bojangles chicken-n-biscuits. It was tastey. I had planned to have a piece of apple pie before going to bed but I was so stuffed that I didn't even try it. Guess that's a step in the right direction.

Speaking of meals - how have those of you with children, husbands, significant others handled cooking dinner while you were on liquids? Did you get the other adult to cook for a few weeks or did you muster through?

  1. Good luck tomorrow! And thanks for following my blog!

    I have 4 kids and 1 husband who does not cook AT ALL....so here is what I did during the liquid phase: Pretty much stopped cooking, except for super-easy stuff. Spaghetti and frozen meatballs; frozen family-size enchiladas; soup and grilled cheese, etc. Then, made sure they had take-out pizza at least once a week, and instructed my husband to get them all Taco Bell or Wendy's once a week. Not as healthy as when I am cooking, but too bad! It was just a couple weeks, and I was focusing on my own thing, soup and more soup. They did just fine! And it was a really nice break for me.

    Take care of yourself, make the rest of it as easy as possible, that is my advice!

  4. My friend's a manager of a Bojangles. I had never heard of it until she got the job. (I'm from CA.) Sounds yummy.
    congratulations on making it to the big day. Good luck that it all goes smoothly!
