OK, February peeps!

I am having surgery Feb 3rd in Mexico with Dr. Almanza. I am pretty excited and yet at times very calm. I am trying to get all the packing details ready. He doesn't require a special preop diet, other than a laxative 3 days before surgery, and nothing after midnight the night before surgery.  Just to be on the safe side, I am following a low carb high protein, no caffeine rigimen. I have also ordered a number of protein powders and am checking them out to see what I like and don't like. I had one tonight that was absolutely delicious, unlike the ones I have tried up to this point :)   I did end up having a coke today, ugh , I had been doing so good with that. Anyway, good luck to everyone and I'll see you all on the losing side!  Wendy

Hey my surgery is scheduled for two days after yours .  Like you I am weaning myself off of caffeine and boy is it hard.  I am way down to what I used to drink.  I opened a can two days ago and only take sips when I start to fill the headache I still have at least a quarter of a can left.  So slowly but for surely.  Now don't get me wrong I still crave it.  I could smell my co-workers DR. Pepper and she said she hadn't opened it yet.  Man did that smell trigger a craving lol.  But I fought it and won! 

I am having my surgery on Monday and I am a little nervous. I have not bought any vitamins as of yet as I go for my last app tomorrow and I am sure they will tell me what to buy. To all of  having surgery shortly have a speedy recovery and praying all goes well.

GOOD LUCK AND GOD SPEED!!!!
