I am nervous but like you said you wanted it. I am ready for the battle. I admire your brave honesty. God Bless you on your journey and I hope you gained many years to enjoy your children and family. Thank you so much. i will pull on my big girl pants and try to muster up bravery.

  11. Tomorrow I join so many of you on here. I can't wait for that. However, what i'm nervous about is the surgeon told me since I have Gerd that it should go away. I find myself constantly researching to see if it made others worse; then I lay awake at night panicking "am I choosing the right surgery" I guess I need to trust and let it go...but i'm overwhelmed and anxious and everything wrapped up in an anxiety ridden ball today:) overall i'm still thrilled. I learned so much on this site and thankful as well......prayers welcomed to calm to me Lol
  12. i mixed mine with almond milk and added ice...it taste ok....doable

  15. I have 2 days till surgery. I'm worried because I've only lost 10 lbs on the pre op liver reducing protein drinks. I have had a menstrual cycle and may be slow because of that too. Anyways after 10 long months it's very real. I'm not nervous, I'm excited.

  22. Okay, so I've lost 6 whole pounds on this so far but blew it today with only 5 days left to go till my surgery I am so ashamed to say that at work this morning was a feast I should say and I did have some of it...small plate but however I am going to do my best to stay focused on the Protein drinks. I'm so discouraged with myself. I wish I hadn't had any....................................................i'm weak.
  23. clear soups; protein drinks, veggies are mine.......i'm hungry
  24. i think the only thing i'm dreading is the hospital 2 day stay; but really.....after moving all weekend i could use the Rest.....tee hee hee..
