Hi... I love it, best thing I read. I too and am single, live alone and hate cooking. This is the best. I have stocked up on premier Protein shakes. My surgery is I. 4/3.. I. Def going to start off with this men up,an as THIS will work for me.. Thanks for this !!!

Hi All... I'm on 4/3 also in Boston.. Did my pre-op testing last Thursday. My surgery is at 11 AM. I'm getting so excited, and nervous!! I'm spending my weekend cleaning my house. I live alone, but will have many people in And out if needed. Are you all scheduled to stay in the hospital for 2 nights ? They say I should be out early Saturday afternoon.. I'm going to try and pop on while I'm in there. I'll look for all of you and say HI to our new lives

Hi All... I just had all my pre-tests done last Thursday. I'm going in next Thursday 4/3. Yes, I'm nervous, scared and most importantly excited for this new healthy happy journey I will be entering. The cons in the beginning preps will be worth it for the pros on the other side. I have a lot of support and have been reading everything I can to be prepared as much as I can. I'm 52, and hoping to lose 150. My friend did the bypass in February 2012, and is down to his goal of losing 160.. And he regrets nothing. !! I'll post some pictures before I go in.. And hoping by September I'll be much more comfortable In My new skin and new ways of eating. Will be a mental challenge for me also. I love my food !!! Good luck to all on the 14 th.. We have made the right choice, first being recognition. !!

I'm on day 1. !!!! Lol.. My surgery is in the 3rd.

Great. !! Thanks Val... I'll give them all a shot.

Yes, my surgeon also said 4-6 weeks.. 2 weeks after surgery I'll see her. I'll decide then what I'll do.. I can work part time if needed.. I don't lift much @ work.. The only concern my Doc had was driving, as you use your stomach muscles ???? I never thought about that !!! But I'm looking to go back ASAP as I'll go stir crazy at home.

My surgery is on April 3rd.. I cannot wait !!!!

Thanks so much for that info.. !!!
