May 4th date
I have the same surgery date, at 10:30 a.m. Next week is filled with pre-op testing, blood work,
chest x-ray, ultrasound, meeting with respiratory therapists and bariatric nurse. An EGD on the 22nd. Then it will be a week before the surgery. Like you, I am so ready to get this done.
I have bought all my vitamins, have samples of a bunch of protein and found a hydration bottle which does not allow any air in and actually counts the number of sips you take and the ounces you drink in a 24 hour period.

It is made by SportLine and you can go to SportLine.com. I purchased it at a store called Tuesday Morning and it lists for $25.00 and I purchased it for $9.95.
Havent' tried using it yet. But plan to prior to my surgery just so I have some idea of what I am drinking now. and hopefully this iwll help me insure that I get those 64 oz. after surgery.
