Surgeries

I went by the shopping list the doc gave me.

Also going to get a small spoon (probably baby spoon) to remind me to take small bites/sips.

Surgery date 2/24

A baby spoon ... Great idea

@@Juanita Hicks My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 23th...I am in Wauwatosa WI

I REALLY like the baby spoon idea! I have been starting to stress about eating and drinking slower! I am a huge chugger of beverages and I tend to eat quickly but I guess it's a learning process! I'm sure the first time I get sick from eating or drinking too fast I will learn lol

Has anyone tried the Isopure drinks yet? Add a run to GNC to my list. Also going to get some more Crystal Light flavors. Tried fruit punch and pink lemonade so far...really good.

The slow eating and drink is going to be hard. I'm sure it will become second nature after awhile...but, the beginning should be interesting.

Anyone getting cold feet? Not really wanting to back out cold feet...maybe chilly feet. Just starting to sink in that my whole life is going to change. I'm not good at change. At times I'm so excited, but at other times, I'm scared and worried about whether I'm making the right decision. It's all part of the process I'm sure. Any thoughts?

I am mostly excited and ready, but once in awhile well like two to three times a day lol I start to worry am I really making the right choice?!? Am I really ready for this?!? I really don't want to die! Ect... Everyone says its natural to have anxiety. This is huge, and it IS life changing! I actually have decided to stay on with the therapist who I had my psych evaluation with and made an appointment on Tuesday. Just to hash out some of my fears and anxieties.

Also... I tried the isopure Protein Water... It was good but I found it to be sweet so I worry that after the surgery it will be too sweet. However maybe on ice and watered down in little sips it will be good.

Thanks for making me feel better Mary! It's a strange feeling to go from real excited to worried all the time. But, I do know that I've been feeling more positive/happier since making this decision. I think I'm just nervous...which is to be expected.

Also, thanks for the Isopure review. I might get 2 different flavors. Like you said, I can always Water them down a little if they are to sweet.

Feb 14!!! I'm in Love with this date it's so significant that I love myself enough to do the best thing for my health! Putting myself first!

I chose RNY with stomach removal.( it's a newer surgery but I'm excited, it's the best of both surgeries!)

And YES! Isopure is amazing! Fortunately I have been able to try all the flavors prior to surgery. They are clear fluid very easy to go down(unlike chalky/milky shakes)

My favorites have been apple melon, and the black or green iced tea flavors.

GoGoniner, February 14 is a great date for surgery.❤️ My surgery date is the 10th. I've designated 2015 the year of me getting my health back on track. I hit the BIG 50 this month and I'm not going to wait any longer.

Thanks for your feedback on the Isopure. Definitely going to need something lighter than shakes to get the Protein in. I'm also thinking about getting some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury to add to broth.

I did have February 13 I told the NO NO way not on Friday the 13 seen too many movies all I could think about was JASON ! So they moved me to the 12th
