Thank you for the well wishes. Surgery is in 13.5 hours and I'm getting nervous and anxious and excited!

Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much!!!! I can't wait

Thank you

Running out of the operating room - I so get that. They are cold unfamiliar places, very foreign kinda clinical set up and the thought that they can sometimes actually make you walk in there is confronting. Not sure that would happen in Oz - I get so anxious that it is noticeable. I have a face that is expressive - cannot lie to save myself - so any emotion is written on my face - especially fear and anxiety. They are going to have to knock me out completely before we even get started. Today = terrified, but thanks for letting me know just how impacted you were. Means I'm not quite so alone. You were sooooo brave.

Hey there! Just wanted to know how you are hanging in there. We got sleeved on the same day! Are you tolerating fluids ok? I read the protein shakes have made you feel ill. The only thing so far that made me nauseated was my 1% milk. I have tried to tolerate skim but I can't so dr says my 1% is fine. But when I tried it, it was horrible. Weird as I have been a huge milk drinker for years! Anyhoo, hope you are feeling ok and talk soon!

Hey there! I uploaded pictures of the protein shakes I use. The premixed EAS Advantedge I get at Walmart. The other Cytosport i100% Whey is the makers of Muscle milk. You have the option of using water instead of milk. This is how I make it; 1 1/2 scoops of power, 1/2 cup of water, handful or ice, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1/4 cup of frozen blue berries. I drink half in the am and the other half in the afternoon, both time between meals. It gives me all the protein I need and it taste good. Blender is key. I have found plain protein you can add to food to up the intake. Beginning is hard with the nauseating feel. My doctor prescribed Ondansetron and Hyoscyamine Sulfate for nausea & cramping. Both work amazing. Good luck I hope this helps. TTYL
(FYI pictures are in my album)

They look great 3 more days will be fine. They won't be "stuck!" Did our doctor tell you to remove them?

I have a few ideas and suggestion for shakes. But I am about to go in gym to swim. (Hehehehehe that rhymes) once I get back home I will upload pictures and give you recipes for no skim milk shakes. Hang in there I know what your feeling.

Yeah meat filled me up. I could barely have 1 oz of ground turkey breast. I couldn't finish an egg scrambled. After wards I was overly full. Which is yucky, But it was yummy . I think I need to cut in half for the first few days. Or I just ate to fast haha who would have thought an ounce was too much meat! Good times. Hope you doing well! Let me know how things are for you.

thank you so much getting reADy to leave

Cute before picture!

Howdy. You up yet? I'm keen for the next instalment in your journey!!

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you today. I hope all is well with you.
