Topic: RE: surgery date 2/17/10 RNY
Hi Jen, Welcome to the Club 17.  I am so excited for you.  Wow Canada, I would love to visit sometime.  I live ine Rocklin, CA near Sacramento.  I have to do 48 hrs of liquid before surgery not 2 weeks!  I will send a prayer for you for endurance and strength.  Did you have to lose a certain amount of weight before surgery?  Is that your son in the picture?  He is a cutie!  If you feel like it we would love to hear your story!  Mary

Topic: RE: What is your ultimate Goal??
I get off easy pre-op, but as a new post-op I will have a 3 week liquid diet. I'm soooo looking forward to that (sense the sarcasm?)! LOL

Even though he hasn't specified a pre-op diet, I have been boosting my protein and getting in fresh pineapples. The enzyme (bromlein?) helps to boost healing. I'm all about the healing!

Oh and the day before cleansing...yea, been there, done that. I had a surgery date of 1/14/10 previously, and found out hours after ingesting that lovely bottle of magnesium citrate that my surgery would be rescheduled. You can imagine my joy. But, it was an experience that will only help me on the Feb. 17th. I know what I have to do. And fortunately, I'm mentally prepared to tackle that.

I do have to get some flushable wipes though....a HUGE help, kwim?

Topic: RE: Protein Shakes...
 i use Atkins Advantage in chocolate and vanilla (havent tried the other flavors). i buy them at walmart for 4 for 5 dollars. thats the cheapest ive found (i have a frugal streak in me). at first i thought they were discusting. but then after drinking them for two weeks (pre op) i kinda like them now. although now im sorta tired of drinking them and i have to force myself to at least drink three a day (im supposed to have 6).  but in any case.. thats me!

No Pre-op?  Nice.  I wish that was the case although mine is much more tolerable then those that can do only liquid.  I have to have 4 shakes a day and all the veggies and fat free dressings that i want.  Veggies are easy, better then nothing at all.  Oh and there is the clense the day before

Good luck

Smart move!  Not putting a number on it.  I guess when you think about it it really isnot the number. Heck, People would never guess that I weigh what I weigh.  Good luck.
