Hey everybody! So excited for the transformation.

I fly out on June 7 (my birthday) for the operation on the 8th. I started my pre-op diet early so I could have a shot at lowering my BMI enough to save $500. So far down 13 lbs in 10 days. Need another 18 lbs in the 3+ weeks left. Anybody else going in at that time?

Some questions...

Protein drinks vs powders. Does it matter? I've been using Atkins and EAS ready to drink and both seem fine. Any suggestions on this?

What should I bring with me? Gas-x? Chicken boullion?

My wife wants to come but stay at the Marriott while I am in the hospital. Will it be easy for her to come and visit and are there fun things for her to do in the area?

Speaking of which...we arrive fairly early on the 7th and will have most of the day in TJ. What would be a fun thing for us to do that I might not have the energy for after the surgery?

Thanks for all your help!
