I'm so excited to be this close to surgery. I don't have a date yet. I go back to the surgeon on Jan. 8, 2014. I expect we will set a date then (hopefully). January 29 ends the 3 month "diet" period. So I think I'm looking at surgery in February.

Where do you find these broths? I spent way too much time in the baking and soup aisles today and saw nothing but plain broths and stocks.

With the regular broths in the broth aisle. They are by Swanson.

I'm trying to attach it

Which store? They sound great. I will be on the hunt from now on!

I've had the Mexican tortilla soup broth and it's good. Spicy goodness. I was gonna eat the Asian hot n sour broth but ended up at my sister's house to watch TWD. I'll try it tomorrow and give u my take on it.

Oh yeah! Duh. I'm a true blonde sometimes... lol. Can't wait. I wanna know if it's as good as it is from a Chinese place, just minus the goodies. Hah.

I just got them at walmart. I overlooked them at first but the second time I went I saw them. The tortilla is really good. Very spicy. My sister and I cut it with regular chicken broth.

I found em at walmart, in the same aisle with the soups. Same at my local grocery store.

I've never had hot & sour soup before so I'm not gonna know. But I know it's gotta be more flavorful than plain broth. Thank God Ken is a chef Bc I have so many seasonings it's an entire cabinet full so I can doctor them up if need be.

The grocery store definitely didn't have them. So Walmart will be my next stop. Thanks!

Either way. If you like it, I'll be trying it. Hah. I'm thankful for the seasonings I've picked up along the way... it's helped all the boring bland soups a little.

I'll try it with and without protein powder.

I started this process April 2013. I had to complete a six month diet, see a nutritionist, psych evaluation and a pre op class.All was submitted to insurance on 12/22 and on 12/26 I was approved. I have an appt with the surgeon on 1/22 to set a date for surgery and get all my preoperative testing info. I am super excited for the change that is going to happen. Anyone else in Colorado Springs, CO?

My surgery will be in denver

Hi! I'm in Colorado Springs! I had surgery on Jan 30th

Having all my evaluation pre req appts today. So far my metabolism is totally normal, so the weight gain problem is MY BRAIN, lol. Everything else is coming out normal and good for surgery. Woohoo!

As I look back it does seem that the past 6 days on pre-op has flown, but my days themselves seem to last forever. From the moment I wake up til I'm trying to fall asleep. Time drags for me. I can't find enough to do in the day to make time pass

I like to think as myself as excited, but when reality hits I get a little uneasy. How are you mentally preparing yourself? For some reason I am nervous about how I am going to handle the minutes and seconds before surgery. Like waiting in the OR for them to put me out. Idk why this is the thing my brain is dwelling on! Lol. I am almost hoping they put me out and THEN take me in to the OR. Wait, do they? Because that would be great xD
