Thank you for the warm greeting!

Hi!!! Thank you Marsha, Jack, Kim, Bmore, and Michelle. It is great to be greeted by you all! We all seem to have things in common. Marsha...you and I have the same last name. And many of the rest of you have either the same surgery date (Kim & Michelle) or surgery the day before (Bmore),after me, or some time soon (Jack & Marsha). This will be so neat to walk through together. I am so excited. I was a little nervous when the nurse gave me my surgery date because it was so quick. I was in shock. Last night I went and bought all kinds of things to prepare, like...little plates, bowls, and spoons, chicken broth and other things like that. I bought a personal blender because a friend who has the surgery had bought one and takes it everywhere. I feel like I'm baby shopping, lol. Well I better go for now. I wish you all good luck on your surgeries too. Will keep in touch. Buh bye! Amanda

Amanda Sounds like you're all set. Don't forget your protein drinks. bariatriceating.com has some great ones. The RTD Extreme Smoothies are probably the best ones I've ever tasted. No yucky after taste. Plus 35 grams of protein in 11 oz. The Elite Chocolate Mint is great too. At any rate, good luck with everything. Only 1 more week for me. A little nervous, but mostly excited. God Bless Tammy
