I use "Silk Milk" (vanilla flavor), Carnation Breakfast Essentials, and whey protein (GNC-vanilla). Taste great to me!!

I had support for the most part of all of my family and friends, except a few! But, it is your life and you are the one who has to live it. It is to make you a healthier person and in the long run, hopefully to live longer. Overall, I have had a wonderful experience so far. I just had surgery on 06/11/12. I spent 3 nights and 4 days in the hospital. One of the main reasons, was because I had a lot of nausea and vomiting. I also had an experience of vomiting up blood clots a few times, in which it scared the living heck out of me, because I had not been warned about that being a possibility. But, it will be the best decision that you could make. I am alread 15 pounds down in 9 days. GOOD LUCK!!

Hey, I use "Silk" milk which is soy-based. Then I add the Carnation Breakfast Essentials to it and the Whey protein powder (Vanilla) to get in my protein that I need. It taste great!!

Currently, I am using "Silk Milk (Vanilla)," in which I add the Carnation Breakfast Essentials & then I add a scoop of the Whey protein powder (Vanilla) from GNC. It makes a great drink and a good source of protein.

I think it is just the pre-jitters! You will be fine. My surgery is tomorrow at 12:40 p.m. I have to be at the hospital 2 hours prior. I have been a whole lot calmer, than I expected to be. But, it will probably hit me in the morning!! Keep us posted.

I think you will be fine! I am having surgery on Monday and only have to start a clear liquid diet tomorrow and do the magesium citrate drink (yuck)!! So, you have this under control.

Well, I finally got my 2nd approval letter on Saturday! Then, a surgery date for June 11, 2012, yesterday. My Pre-Op appointment is tomorrow and I have my anethesiology appointment on Friday. I am superexcited and stoked, but at the same time a little anxious. I am so ready to become a new woman.
