I stil have two months which I think has allowed me to delay taking action. Because my ...

I recently had severe abdominal pains that wouldn't go away and went to my internist who couldn't figure out diverticulitis or colitis because my symptoms didn't match. Luckily, he sent me for a CT scan. The next day he told me that on top of diverticulitis that there were 2 ovarian tumors (one on each) - a 10cm in diameter and a 6cm in diameter. So, I went back to ...

( Getting a bit easier, but still not fully aclimated to eating like this. 2 out of 3 protein shakes done. Third planned. Cooking Chicken \(breaded and cooked in the oven\) and baked potatoes for wife and mother. Smells soooo good. I've decided if it isn't mentioned on the paperwork that I got explicitly, it doesn't go in my mouth. Have my pre-op meeting with the surgeon ...

( It has only been 2 days and I am already going crazy. Today I'm feeling lightheaded and I really want to eat something. Does this REALLY work to shrink your liver before surgery?? I guess it does but it sucks!! Sorry I just had to vent for a minute. I will get through this no matter what I have to do. Thanks for listening., Hugs, Tiffany ,)

Pre Op Liquid Diet permalink I am a week and a half into the pre-op liquid diet and want to make sure I am not drinking too much broth. I am having about 24 oz. a day of either chicken, beef or vegetable broth. Three Slim Fasts a day, maybe one or two sugar free popsicles and a cup of sugar free jello at most.

I have a client coming to me for massage to loosen her pectoral muscles for a planned breast augmentation. Her doctor recommended loosening and suppling the tissue in the chest region as they are going to put the implants under the pectoral muscles. When speaking with my client, I mentioned that a lot more than just the pecs should be worked on to open up the entire chest, ribcage, and shoulder...
