CW: 262 surgery date 11/6/13

I feel so unprepared I go to a pre op class this Friday tho hope it helps then I have ny pre admit on the 4th but I'm sitting here worried I need to be getting stuff for wen I get home but don't know what I gana buy all my Vitamins from my doctors office an I have one container of whey isopure an I've been getting broth n different things at grocery store I bought some toddler forks n spoons cuz I see other people talk bout them so guess I'm doing ok

Get some sippy cups w no spill proof lids. Another good thing is to get sf Jello sf Popsicles and other clear stuff. At my preop class they told us everything to get and it will make ya feel better.

Get yourself a couple pretty plates child size like corning ware salad plates. Crystal light it will still count as a water. I get the packets cause it just ads to a 16.9 oz.bottle. I'm starting to buy my tomorrow. Walmart. has sugar free muscle milk 100 calories 4 pack. I bought it to try and LOVE it!!! 15 grams protein. Good luck!

Thank you everyone for the suggestion I will look for muscle milk didn't know bout it an where do u get samples the couple of whey protiens I've bought I like but they say your taste buds change so that's why I haven't been stocking up an I can't wait for my pre op class Friday!!!

I bought my muscle milk at Walmart, 4 pack for $5.98. I just bought 10 packs for $59.80. That's 40 bottles. If you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you they sell individual bottles if you want to try it. Syntex NectarNectar isolate is also good. Plus if you buy what they sell and don't like it you can return itit. For those of you that don't know, isolate means it will desolve better.

oh and my but said we can drink sugar free carnation instant breakfast for your protein shake. Another drink (hard to find) is Special K protein packets pink lemonade flavor. My daughter-in-law said she orders them from Amazon.com

Ok I have the super advance whey isolate thought it just had less carbs n stuff I like it a lot!

Hello all! I had my appointment today with the surgeon. He agreed to complete my surgery, but is making me be smoke free for two months! He scheduled me for surgery 12/20. Glad to report I have not smoked in 3 days. It's been hell, but I'm doing it! Congrats to everyone who is in Nov. Good luck to you all!

Good luck. You can do it!!! I've been smoke free for 25 years. so I know it's not easy. Take the money you save for every pack of cigs you would havehave bought and take a little vacation with that money next year. Good luck again.
