I'm totally with ya!!! I "what if" everything to death!!

Good luck!!

Congrats and good luck to you both!

I am proud to say I have stuck to the liquid diet like glue!

Happy Mothers Day!! 2 more days people!!!

I got my Isopure from The Vitamin Shoppe...its a nice break from all that milky tasting protein!

Yeah just don't take anymore, tell ur doc...as long as you haven't been taking it back to back for a long period you should be fine...

Yup! I can't lift for 6 weeks or more...the doc says anything over 10 lbs can cause hernia at the surgery incision sites...be careful!!

Ahhhh! I am sorry you are stressed but congrats on your decision and welcome!

Yep, my surgeon said something similar so I have told those that would be supportive. There were 2 people I had to tell that I knew could be an issue. My little sis and her GF are very opinionated...so I told them and when they started their " do you know what you are getting yourself in to" speech...I calmly interrupted them. Said "yes I do and I don't need opinions just support. The decision has been made and that's final." Then ended the convo...every thing they have said to me since has been supportive!! Good luck!!

Sounds good to me!

@almostthere...u might want to add chapstick...I have heard the lips get extremely dry!

I took my 4 yr old to McDonalds the other day. A treat for him after getting shots at the doc...man it smelled so good!

Well, I didn't watch my portions. She didn't ask me to. She wasn't out to make me lose weight necessarily. Just not gain. What she did ask me to do in preparation for surgery was not drink carbonated drinks, only sf tea, and only drink juices that were low cal. Basically not to "drink" my calories...and I lost 10 lbs just doing that.

I can only have the 98% fat free cream of mushroom and cream of chicken...has to be the 98% fat free kind...and then tomato soup...its naturally good for you...I use oatmeal and malt o meal...

3 protein shakes a day, half cup of hot cereal, half cup of fat free cream soup, broth, sugar free jello, sf popsicles, water, some sf tea, 1 low fat yogurt per day...
