My surgery is in 9 days. I've been preparing for this for over six months, longer if you count the years that I've been debating having the surgery. I'm looking forward to having the surgery but dreading the experience of learning how to use my "new tool" after surgery. I've never been a big meat eater and I'm not sure about how I'm going to adjust to that. I am thankful that is a process of steps.

Hi Robbin, wow your surgery is going to be here in a flash! All the best on your new journey!

Yes, your new tool is going to take some getting used to. It's ok though, just have patience in yourself and in the process. If you're not big on meats there are other alternatives to help boost your Protein levels, such as Beans, tofu and other ideas. I personally LOVE Protein shakes. I still drink them even though I don't have to.

Hey! I'm there with you! My surgery is in 7 days!

Thanks LilMisDiva and Meli.
