The New Kel

My firsts concerts were the summer of 1983 and I saw two concerts in a week, can't remember which was first. One was The Tubes, and the other was David Gilmour of Pink Floyd!

I am currently on the pre-op Liquid Protein diet. I am using Six Star Elite whey Isolate. It comes in this big a** tub that you can buy at walmart or amazon. It's not bad tasting (though a bit on the sweet side), and it is 30 g protein a serving, and practially zero carbs and fat.

Me too. I'm on the pre-op liquids diet and I literally pee every hour. Including all night.

Fantastic! You look great. Keep up your awesome work!!!

It sucks, but I try to think that this is the hardest part. After surgery hopefully we won't be as "hangry"!

Thanks for the encouragement! I just took Kristen's advice and walked the dog around my neighborhood. It felt good! I'll get through it...

Hi there, Thanks for this advice! I love the idea of just taking a walk and blowing off steam. I think my dog would LOVE that too! I can take him! I should tell my family now that more of this might come, and to be warned, but sorry in advance! Good luck to you as well!! We will have to keep in touch since are both October sleevers.

Hi everyone! I am scheduled for sleeve surgery on October the 3rd. I am on the 6th day of my surgeon's strick pre-op diet: protien shakes and broth. I am soooo cranky! My poor husband! My poor kids!!! I am usually a VERY happy-go-lucky person, cool and calm, and hardly anything would light my temper. My husband alsways said he appreciates my low to no temper. Well, I am now wondering if that "cool as a cucumber" personality was due to food and being able to enjoy it. Now, being restricted and having to drink these shakes for calories, I am so irritable. Last night I was in bed at 10 reading, then came out to the kitchen at 11 for some Water and saw my 13 y/o son was up, using my MacBook, and had soda cans strewn about. I abruptly snatched away my MacBook, told him to clean up his crap and go to bed! Soooo not like me!!! I then stammered off to bed feeling angry. Does this get better?? Will my old, casual, happy self return? I'm NO fun at all to be around right now. I should send my whole family away to the Bahamas for the next three weeks, LOL. Or wait, may I should go
