This is a really good idea! I don't have an exact plan yet, but pedicures, sexy lingerie, massages, and all that girly-make you feel pretty stuff will be on the list for sure.

Well if you plan on seeing this guy long term, i would suggest being as honest as possible. Like others said he probably won't ask, and if he does "lap surgery" is probably a good enough answer for now. If this is just going to be a roll in the hay, getting your *cough* feet wet getting back into dating, tell him whatever you want. back when i was single and loving it, i lied about all sorts of stuff when i knew it was just going to be a one time thing. I even lied about my name just so the guy couldn't track me down after words LOL. *sigh* sometime i miss being single *evil grin*

i went to walmart today, and decided i should start testing out the different Protein shakes (can be found in the pharmacy section). I decided to go ahead and try the equate cheapo shake first, because i assumed it would taste yucky, so i just wanted to try it and get it out of the way, and just work up to the more expensive stuff. I got the equate plus chocolate. It has 13g of protein per 8oz can and is lactose free. To my surprise it was VERY GOOD. It tastes much better then the carnation shakes. So for those of you out there struggling to find something they like, i'd actually recommend it.

I just got my date. I'll be having surgery August 18th with Dr. Martin.
