Ugh - getting rescheduled while on the liquid diet is my quiet nightmare - so good luck to you. I'm set to follow you the next day!

I've got the same date (18th) - so hang in there! I think the GNC RTD Lean Shakes are the best I've had so far - that and the Better than Bullion are my friends this week...

Yeah I add some PB to mine to give it a better flavor. Also they said I could add some SF orange jello and it would make it taste like a creamsicle. I have done that yet, but I may try it tonight.

I have been doing okay and really haven't been too hungry. Recommend you try to find pb2 if you like peanut butter... I have also added an orange crystal light pack for a bottle of water to a vanilla smoothie to make it taste just like an orange cream sickle - yum!

Thanks! Have they given you any idea as to how long the wait list might be? Although that doesn't always mean anything. They orginally told me that from the time the Bariatric Registry receives the referral from my doctor to the time of surgery would probably be 3 - 6 months. That for me would've been December to March. When I went for my appointment in January to see the dietician and social worker I fully expected to be given a date for February or March. However, I had lost my job back in November and when I told the team about it they said it wasn't good to have too many big things going on at once and wanted me to come back in March to see them again. I tried explaining that losing the job was a good thing (was glad to get out of the daily stress) and that this way I had the proper time to recover without having to worry about going back to work. It didn't matter, they wanted me to come back in March. Then for some reason even though my info was supposed to be passed to the surgeon's office it wasn't. So after all that I finally got my date for July 18.
I hope you don't have to go through any crap and can get your date soon. I think it will be interesting for all of us to compare notes after our surgeries!
