Awesome, here we go!!! ;)

Finally I have a date - 07/01/08. When the doc's office called and told me, I was silent. I was shocked that it was so soon. She asked if I wanted to change it to after the 4th so I could enjoy the holiday. She must be crazy ! I've had a lifetime of hot dogs and bbq. It's time for a new healthier life!

Good luck to you too. I am right behind you and so happy.

RNY here I come, just another 22 days!

Hi, I'm still waiting for approval, hopefully mid July the Doctor's office says. I've taste tested many protein powders, broths, etc. I've decided to make my own turkey broth and freeze it for when I'm ready. Those store bought kinds are too salty for me and I don't like the bouillon flavor! I bake my turkey with rosemary and sage so the broth has a nice flavor, then plop the carcass in a big pot with water and a few more spices. I'll add non-flavored whey protein powder to them before eating to boost my protein intake. My favorite protein powder is Jay Robb's Chocolate Whey Isolate. YUM I add any of several DaVinci SF syrups to it for different flavors. Mustn't get bored. I've ordered my vitamins and have started taken them so my body's in prime condition when surgery day hits. I've been walking like mad, I'm up to 10k steps daily now and have lost enough he won't have to worry about my liver being fatty. I've read several books and numerous website postings. Did I mention I'm SO ready for this? lol How about you? What are you doing to get ready? Be well, ---jan---
