  1. HOLY COW what a difference from 15 yrs ago! Taste so much better now!!!!
  2. Mostly SF stuff except for v8 splash light, ill have to try broth, though it sounds... Well... I guess I'll have to try it.
  3. My two week liquid diet is supposed to start tue the 23rd. I work mon-fri. Should I start the liquid diet Friday night (before, not after;)) so my body has time to recover for work the next week? I can't belie I'm actually asking this...
  4. Hard to believe so many August sixthers... Good luck to all of us!
  5. Man, my surgeons a cheapskate , we have to buy our own protein drinks!
  6. Ugh, 8 days till my pre-op diet, I'm NOT ready.
  7. Thanks - I'll try lowering the seat... Hopefully that makes it less exhausting, too.
  8. I'm assuming since I have no idea what that means, they are clipless, both shoes and pedals.
  9. I am using an adult-sized tricycle. It is on the road, as smooth as I can get it.
  10. Best of luck to you! I started this process mid-late January, and I can say that the process as a whole has been trying, but it will be worth it in August!
  11. I bought some SF cherry Davani's flavor from wal-mart, and it didn't seem very, well, flavorfull to me. I used some in a snow cone, and though it is possible I didn't use enough (though the ice was a nice, red color), I just don't know. I know sf stuff typically has less flavor OOMPH than non-SF, but what are other people's experience?
  12. I think the two week liquid diet will be worse than the surgery itself, but I'll survive...
  13. Me three. Not worried about the surgery.. Worried about the liquid diet.more so for my family than myself!
  14. August 6th for me, too!
  15. August 6th for me!!!
  16. Checked today, and due to a busy week, and a death in the family of one of the staff, I'll probably get a date on Tuesday. I'm next in line apparently
  17. When I'm pedaling,I notice my feet start tilting to the side of my foot instead of the sole of my feet. Is my seat up too high or is something else wrong?
  18. Well, it is starting to look like"soon"isn't today, either hopefully tomorrow..
  19. One of there restrictions added in may was 3 months = 90 days, or something similar. once you've got all of their requirements filled, they'll approve you.
  20. I received this notice from my surgeon's coordinator today! === Hi Dan, I just received an call for the last clearance! Mary will be double checking everything……so should get a surgery date soon. We are very busy tomorrow so probably won’t be tomorrow but soon. === What? Not even Tomorrow? It should be today! I want my date! Make them all work overtime! And soon,.what kind of timeline is that?!? /sigh don't they know I'm waiting??? Mememememememe!!!
  21. Approved by insurance, had all pre-op testing, now I'm just waiting for a date... I may have one as early as tomorrow am, though.
  22. Caffeine wasn't so bad, just headaches for a day. Carbonation was MUCH harder, ironically enough...
