I have to say that throughout the last month, this blog site has been my savior! I appreciate all the comments, encouragement, and support that everyone on here seems to share. I'm currently a week away, and on my low-carb diet... it hasn't been too bad at all. It's funny; I was telling my husband last night that prior to surgery authorization, I was on top of everything! Speedy to get my psych evaluation, my blood draws and everything for approval. Now that I've received it, and my surgery date is next week, I'm lagging! By that, I mean I have this whole bowl full of chewable Vitamins, Protein drinks, powders, liquids etc. that my NUT has given me, and I have only tried one thing. What am I waiting for??

I think I am subconsciously really nervous... has anyone had second thoughts? I do know that this is a life changer and I am soooo ready for that change. Maybe just pre-surgery jitters. That's what I'm chalking it up to.

Best to all of you throughout your endeavors and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I think Cna jobs kind of depend on where you're located. But they always need good ones in

SE OK especially in nursing homes.

Hi, not interfering or anything hunny but the body can only absorb 27grams of Protein in one sitting, so doubling up your powder isn't giving you extra protein hunny. Xxx

I don't do it for the the extra protein. I do it for the taste sensation. Thanks for the info, though. Have you told the body-building community?

Alright ladies!!! Tomorrow is the beginning of our new journey and new life! Woohoo!! Good luck and I will catch up with ya after surgery! Best wishes to each of you for a speedy recovery!!!

I am also having surgery tomorrow! Sooo nervous but excited as well. Wishing everyone luck $ prayers to you all.

I don't have to be at the hospital until 12:30pm. The "prep" made me so sick! I was so nauseated and vomitted horribly. Hopefully this is not setting the way for things to come. See you all in a few days. Good luck to everyone!!

Well crud. Was told to be here at 6 but surgery isn't scheduled until 9:30 :-/ I sure am dreaming about a drink of Water

Gl today tho im sure it is over let me know how it went

Lucky me, surgery has been way better than I anticipated. No nausea, taking liquids very easily, and walking. Did have some gas in my shoulder earlier and it sucked but luckily it's gone now.

Hope the surgery went well for everyone!!! You can do this and will be glad! I was sleeved Nov 12th and have made it through the holidays, etc

At home now. Feeling pretty stinking good! Now I'm just ready to see this weight go bye bye

Well, sounds like most are doing pretty good!! I just got home about an hour ago and am really sore- feel like if I could just fart a big ol fart I would feel loads better!! I have never had surgery before and my body is saying - what the heck have you done to me!! Hang in there everyone!

HI everyone! We are now two days in! I am feeling really well. The only real issue I'm having is the constant gurgle in my stomache that tells me I need to burp.. But I can't! Anyone else experiencing that??

Tomorrow I start my protien liquid phase. Excited to have something else besides crystal light and chicken broth

How are you guys doing? Hangin in there?!!!
