Topic: RE: all my January 6 Peeps!
Snoops,
I'm right with you! Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, getting everything ready. Luckily, I can eat a normal breakfast, light lunch and a bowl of soup for dinner. Then the milk of magnesia (YUK). I'll be going to my parent's house after surgery, but I can post from my mom's computer. Good Luck to you- we're all going to do GREAT!!!! I look forward to Betty's updates about how you're doing.

Lori,
I agree with the previous poster that you should contact your surgeon ASAP and find out about the vitamins. They may have specific ones that they want you to take, or they may tell you to take any bariatric chewable multivitamin and calcium to start with and then add others as needed. I ordered mine from Celebrate, and they're really not too bad tasting. As for the NUT, I guess that you would have to ask your insurance company. Mine limits the number of visits, and after that I will have to self-pay. I don't believe that they charge that much, though. It's worth it- I'll find a way to budget it in. Good Luck with your surgery!

My surgery is in Buffalo, NY- but I wanted to wish you luck!
Topic: RE: Cream of Wheat
I'll have to try the almond extract in cream of wheat- that sounds like it may make it tolerable! I never really cared for the stuff, but I also bought it for post-op- since we don't have a whole lot of choices in the beginning, I thought I would give it a try.

Topic: RE: are you tired of hearing "see, you CAN lose weight"
OMG YESSSSSSSSSSS!!
THANK UUUUU!!
I start my liquid diet today...and hubby is very excited for me.
He thinks i will lose close to 20 lbs in 2 weeks.( REALLY?? Seriously...doubt that)
He also said something similar to your mom..."this is your test..if you can do this for 2 weeks..then you will be OK for surgery" ..I see where that would make sense to him...but after surgery just liquid WILL feel me up. RIGHT?? Maybe I'm wrong...if i could starve myself for weeks and lose weight and be all happy -go- lucky...then hey...why in the world why i have to get surgery??? Oh wait...MAYBE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
My mom had told me when i started this whole process that i should just do the diet that i will have to stick to after WLS ... don't go through with the surgery...just eat the way i would if i had it done....AGAIN....THAT WONT WORK!!!!
OMG....so help me if i hear anything stupid the next 2 weeks...LOL
SOOO GLAD your here...you crack me up...please post more often..LOVE IT LOVE IT!!
(((HUGS)))
