It's almost certainly the shakes, but my doctor doesn't allow substitutions, in general. I'm only allowed to use HPMR Bariatric Advantage shakes. They're awful. I hold my nose and do my best to get them down, but it's not working that great. I'm going to call them first thing in the morning and see if they can help me!

Gah. Pre-op diet is kicking my butt. I've been nauseous all day. I've only managed to get one protein shake and 2 cups of broth down. I threw up 2 more protein shakes. I really hope tomorrow is a better day.

It's getting real for me! I just got my protein shakes and I'm starting pre-op diet at 6am tomorrow morning. Surgery June 27th. I'm getting REALLY nervous.

I just got my date. I'm barely June, but I'm June! My date is June 27th. Pre-op is May 31st. My pre-op diet starts on the 13th. I have a LOT of mixed feelings still. Feelings of failure, happiness, excitement. All mixed in together. It's kind of hard. But I'm ready to make the change. I've been considering WLS for over 5 years.

6 months, but mostly because I needed to save $3500 because I have a high deductible plan. I don't have any required nutritionist visits, so according to the clinic, I could have been done in a month.
