Hi Janet, I'm a week behind you and have my bag packed. I'm so ready. lol What are you taking? Things I'm taking: water protein powder vitamins Tums mp3 player laptop CPAP hairbrush toothbrush etc jammies slippers baby wipes chapstick maxipads pillows We live 3 hours from the hospital so we're staying a couple extra nights near the doctor's office. ---jan---

Congratulations! It's not long now. ---jan---

One suggestion the nut had at the meeting was to add any sugar-free flavoring you can stand. I got some extracts in the cooking aisle but I also picked up a couple sugar free syrups for coffee. And I got a great decaf coffee to brew that I can add powdered milk and/or the protein powder. Maybe those could/help. I've also heard of people making weak sugar free jello and blending it with ice for fruit slushie type drink.

My date is July 1st and today was my last day at work. It felt like the last day before summer vacation. Then we went shopping for all the last minute stuff for after the surgery. So excited!! So much left for me to do before the date.....too fast here. Good Luck!!!!

Hi, I just started using this website today and read your message. I hope you kept with the "medifast". I am currently on a protein liquid diet for 9 days. It is no fun. I am hungry and I know my husband is feeling real guilty because he is able to eat. I can't wait till its over, and I am on the other side of this. I am using a product called "HMR800". So far while on it I have lost 7 pounds and am on day 7, 2 days left then surgery!!
