Congrats, Kim!!\ I have already started on my vitamins so I don't go into malabsorption.. I brought a smoothie machine and juicer. I have 2 5lb Whey protiens one Orange cream flavored, one unflavored. I have Organic broth, sugar free jello, puddings, ice pops and crystal light. I have started drinking soy milk since it's lactose free and have a case of fruit 2o. I can't wait, My surgery is August 21st and I'm ready for it.

Let's see...I have exactly 2 weeks to go... So far I have - 1) Packed my bag (fuzzy slippers, DVD player/DVDs (which my mom will guard for me), books, cross-stitch (hey, I may feel up to it!), my phone book, cell phone charger, camera, etc.) 2) Cleaned the house from top to bottom (I found dust bats in the corners of my closets!) 3) Bought chicken/beef broth, crystal light, isopure's (a couple of cases - they are good - taste like watered down koolaid), sugar-free jello and pudding, prosource protein powder, sugar-free applesause, liquid tylenol (I don't want to be on narcotics very long), and all my vitamins for once I come home. I still have some shopping to do. 4) Going to the gym everyday (It works out the nervous energy in a good way) 5) Proud to say I have not fallen into the "Last Meal" syndrome yet!
