Topic: RE: Anyone have a surgery date
My surgery is also on the 16th. I'm lucky, I have to be on clear liguids the day before, but thats it. Nothing after midnite. I'm trying not to think about it to much. Getting things done, have my moments when I am scared to death! Have to be at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. How are you holding up??? Cindy

Topic: RE: My surgery is the 11th!!!
My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow too....and yes...I've had a bit of anxiety, but overall I'm just excited to be at this stage after working toward this day since last July. Slept well last night.....don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight.
Topic: RE: Protein Shakes...
I felt the exact same way. Totally overwhelmed with all the choices and everyone seemed to have differing opinions about their favorites (what one loved another despised). What helped me A LOT is checking out vitalady.com. She (and I believe her husband as well) both had the surgery and sell vitamins and protein supplements specifically for bariatric patients. Everything she offers is acceptable. You can purchase samples of everything she has and she puts them in portions that you need for a meal replacement (as far as grams of protein go). They are all low in sugar. She even gives examples of what she and her husband's favorite shake recipes are. Anyway, I was really paranoid about buying a huge tub of protein powder that I would hate and not get used. By getting samples I was able to identfiy the brands that blend well and taste good to me.
Hope that helps!

Topic: My surgery is the 11th!!!
I am scared... excited but scared... I got to the pre admit tommorow I CAN"T SLEEP!!! This is so weired! I trust the doctor 100% I have been on the liquid diet for a day ( I have Type 1 Diabetes so they did not want me on it for the full 2 weeks!)
The doctor called in 2 Valum (sp?) but I don't want to take it!
How is everyone else dealing with the anxity?
