welcome. fear is normal we all are having our share. Glad that you have a date. Keep us poted. and feel free to ask anything, thats why we are all here for each other.

Oh man so sorry i missed all this yesterday, Glove if you are reading our post wiether you do this or not is up to you, you WILL make the right decision for you. But you are a part of our group and we need you. you always have such good and informed advice.

on day 5 of an all liquid diet, 3 protien shakes a day and cream soups yogurt and sugar free pudding. not to be crude or anything but has anyone had problems with gas on the protien shakes and what can be done about it?

Havent been on for a few days so welcome everyone.

Girlie. sounds like life has not been the best for you so far. hoplfully this will be an new start and you can put all that behined you. 3 yr olds are a handful without any restrictions, but oh are they so worth it. You have made it through some tought times so this is going to be a piece of cake. will keep you in my prayers. Hopefully my surgery will be the same day as yours but not betting on it.

Welcome Renee glad to have you with us.
