Last full night sleep as I don't anticipate sleeping much tomorrow night, before surgery. Best wishes to my surgery buddies Jen and FoxyRoxy!! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

Mine too! And keep the prayers coming for the 3 March 5th patients: Foxy Roxy, Jen and myself as we try to get thru out last day of our "old life"!! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

Agree on taste and will have to try mushing...it's like a whole new treat! Isn't it great when the little things in life make you so happy!?! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

I went o the Vitamin Shoppe yesterday and bought about 6 different favors of pre-made shakes they have them in the refrigerator section and you an buy one at a time. Also bought samples from unjury and Syntrax nectar. vS carries the big jug of Nectar but was afraid to commit to anything 5 lbs or over until I actually tasted it. Also just found out that Gatorade has Protein drinks...might have to check them out as well! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

I have never heard of it! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

Really hoping I can tolerate since it is a good source of Protein and to break up the beef and chicken monotony! I'm such a picky eater...another reason I'm so nervousness about getting the operation. Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

Same for me except my surgeon really did not give me a choice after he found out how long I have had acid reflux. He said it will make it worse and totally recommended the by pass. Also, the lack of data really got me. Oh and my Mom was freaking out about cutting out an organ, so it was easier to appease her and make the right decision. Good luck to you...which way are you leaning? Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

That's awesome news Roxy! HI to both of my surgery buddies!! Can you believe we are only 3 days away?? Making final arrangements, getting after surgery RX's, making sure there is food in the house for my daughter and thinking about packing today, after I do laundry. Somehow gained 1/2 pound this morning UGH and more UGH. Down about 15 total so far but really thought I would lose more after being so hungry everyday!! Freaking out just a bit, silently like you all, not so much about the operation but afterwards...second guessing my decision but only because I keep thinking about no bread or pizza after the surgery *sadness*. As someone said its like divorcing or breaking up with your best friend! Trying to refocus, but hard since every other commercial on TV is about food!!

So worried about after surgery because I sleep on my stomach. Really wondering what the heck I'm gonna do?!? Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

I keep reading these posts and can't help but hear my "Mothers" voice saying..."I knew you should not have done this surgery" UGH Prayer you all feel better and can get to a healthy eating regimen! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

Would you please add me to the list as well vachick64@gmail.com Thanks!! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013

YES! I have been on Prilosec or Protonix for 17 years and never felt the acid reflux I have in the past week on my liquid diet. Not even after eating a steak and cheese and onion rings! Omg just made myself hungry again!!! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk / surgery date March 5, 2013
