Congrats on getting your date, it's exciting when you finally get it isn't it? You can start thinking about the foods/fluids you are allowed on your liver-shrinking diet & start shopping so you have everything in you need, plus it will give you the chance to get rid of any 'naughty' foods that are still in the cupboards so you aren't tempted. This also applies to foods/fluids you can have afterwards. I prepeared a load of sloppy/mushy foods & froze them before I went in & found it really took the pressure off. You could also think about what you will need in while you are in hospital: earplugs, small hand held-fan & lipsalve are a must to go in the case!
