  9. I don't want to back out I'm just anxious I don't like change and this is a big one
  10. Yep starting to get anxious I'm a little worked about what to do with my kitten who likes to walk, sit, and sleep in my stomach and chest
  11. I know what you mean that's why I do so much research I find both positive and negative testimonials read through blogs ect. You can do this and think how nice it would be to keep up with your son (even at 28 my brother likes to go on hikes or 5 mile plus walks around cities with my mom)
  12. Mine is on Wed too I'm able to lose myself by re-reading some of my favorite books (honor Harrington) playing with my cat and planning planning planning The best way for me to cope w/ anxiety is to research and plan I've done all the research I can now it's down to planning

  14. i went to the mall today to make a hospital bear for myself so please meet bypass bear she reminds me to chase after the rainbow and find my pot of gold only 4 more days till i start my journey! sorry if this isn't appropriate to post here
  15. Do what you are most comfortable with and most likly to be able to live with
  16. Oh yah I think the peanut butter cookie one I think tastes best with vanilla soy/almond milk to cut the saltiness (although the sodium content is aprox the same as the other2)
  17. Yes probably but I'm not allowed yogurt untill 3 weeks post op so it's not in my fridge(if it's not there I can't eat it before I'm supposed to)
  18. I also bought tons of soymilk and almond milk to mix with the powders I tend not to like them as much if they are mixed with water and I'm already lactose intolerant these are all whey protein powders so if you are vegan they wouldn't work for you
  19. Did u mean to quote me here? If so the cinnamon roll one is bsn lean dessert protein the other 3 are metabolic nutrition protizyme
  20. I got my protein powder on amazon but you can get them all at the vitamin shoppe
  21. I have all my vitamins 4 different flavors of protein powder(chocolate cake, vanilla cake, peanut butter cookie, and cinnamon roll) plus unflavored whey protein, isopure apple Mellon flavored clear protein drinks, 6 quarts of homemade chicken broth, and homemade mushroom broth. That should hold me untill I'm allowed soft foods lol
