Great idea, Jen!!! I have a ver loooong list of "want tos" lol

Yup. I'm such a bundle of emotions right now. Lol

Well, I have to be there at 6am tomorrow. It's a 3 hr drive. But at least it's early Bc I can't have anything to drink after midnight and I won't have to sit and Dwell on my surgery for too long

Wow, I feel exactly the same. Exactly. Thank you so much for showing me that I'm not alone in these feelings. I do wish you the best of luck and will be meeting you on the loser's bench!!!

Thank you for all of your encouragement. I really needed that.

Jen has already had her surgery

Thanks guys. I'm thankful for the encouragement.

Thank you, Sherry. I'll definitely take all the prayers you send my way.

There is another one. It's "About Time" brand that is vegan, gluten free, and sweetened with stevia. It has like 5 ingredients and you can pronounce each one. It's very good. It seems hard to find shake mixes that use stevia so I'm definitely going to keep yours in mind for friends.

They are. I had to cut it with regular broth.

Awesome! It's sweetened using stevia, which is absolutely excellent. No sucralose, which some people have a sensitivity. I can't use it Bc the carbs are too high, but lots will be able to. Where did you get it and what was the price range?

Do you know how many carbs are in it and the % RDA of vitamins?

Me too. You feel less alone. Your friends make you stronger and it makes you feel good to be there for them and know they are cheering you on as well. It's so great to actually talk to someone who honestly knows what you're going through and creates a sort of kinship.

I agree. I didn't go all out on a rampage, but there were some foods that I needed to say goodbye to. Not "see ya later", but "goodbye". I have my favorite little Italian place and went there for me favorite Pasta. Had my favorite deep dish pizza and my fave Mexican dish. I planned those out and I'm glad I did. There are alternatives to those. Like using thin layers of zucchini in place of pasta in my lasagna, or using a cauliflower pizza crust, etc. and I'll take advantage of those sometime down the road. But I needed my goodbye. It really helped with my pre-op diet.

I know! I'm sort of starting to get a tad anxious. But the excitement outweighs that for the most part. It's me and Leigh Anne tomorrow. All the people today are leading the pack this week and I bet they do great.

I'm so excited for y'all tomorrow Shersun and Glitter and everyone. I'll be here waiting to hear updates and sending positive vibes y'all's way.

I'm basically to remove them completely from my diet from now on Bc of the carb content.

These are a lifesaver.

Glitter and Lauren I'm cheering here on the sidelines for ya!!!! Good luck!!!

Lots of good luck and wishing you well tomorrow!!!!

I have surgery tomorrow. (If you count today Monday) and I'm still excited. I'm sure the nerves will get to me eventually. But... The past month I have been overly emotional and I know that it's because I'm feeling so many different emotions about this surgery all at once. There were more days of excitement than anything, but I get bitchy, sad, scared, depressed. Lol. It doesn't help that I have bipolar disorder either

I didn't get my surgery date til the end of January and I started this process in September. It's been 6 months and it seems to have really went by super fast. Watching others only motivates me more. I get to see so many successes. It's great. I can honestly say that I'm happy I had sessions with my nutritionist. She only works with bariatric patients and at each appointment I gained a wealth of knowledge. Also, this site has helped prepare me in so many ways. April

Yes!! Lots of luck!!! You guys are gonna do so great and be sure to keep us updated as soon as you can.

Nope. That anesthesia knocked u smooth out. I'm really easy to rouse from it usually. But it does make me very nauseated.

I will probably update. I just can't be held responsible for and grammatical errors. Lol
