Thanks for the encouragement! You guys are so supportive. It's great talking to people who REALLY understand.

I bought some favored shakes from my doctor named my weight fruit protein shakes. I drink two per day and add some vanilla whey protein to each. One scoop of whey protein is 26 grams of protein plus the two shakes gets me to 56 grams. Pretty good and close to the 60 my NUT wants. I also find that hot tea (peppermint) goes down well I'm working toward three cups a day with a little equal. I read online that peppermint tea is a remedy for gas. Plus hot tea is on my list. This is the first day I'm very close to goal. Plus I walked over 3 miles during three periods today. I feel good!!!

Surgery went perfectly. I was discharged on Friday. Each day post-op I feel better. My only issue is I have no appetite and am struggling to get my protein in. Still having some gas cramps also which more activities should cure. I'm so excited that the scary part is past me. I looking forward to a get summer next year with a whole new wardrobe and 200 percent more confidence to boot!

I've dreamed of a normal life now it looks like I can have it! Say a prayer that all goes well. Talk to everyone post-surgery.

All of my life I have struggled with my weight. It has been and up and down roller coaster. Today is the day I get off and I pray it's smooth sailing from now on. My hair will be blowing in the wind as I go down from now on till at my goal weight. Wow the last few months have been emotionalI've drred.

Good luck and I've already said a prayer for you.

Good luck and God be with you.

Saying a prayer now. I'm right behind you in two days.

I'm scheduled for November 8. Nervous but excited. I just turned 50 about 6 weeks ago and I feel my life is just about to get started. I'm praying all goes well.

I'm scheduled for November 8. Getting nervous but feel deep in my heart that my life is finally about to begin at 50. This is my big 50 gift to me. I can't wait. I'm setting goals and have already lost close to 20 pounds since Sept. I'm ready. Just pray all goes well.
