Thanks Marianne for the WONDERFUL idea!! I'm gonna try that! I LOVEEEEEEE orange julius drinks! God bless! Brenda

Which insurance do you have?

I had my surgery done last week Tuesday and I feel fine. There are times when I just feel like laying down because you will get tired fast but I was told this would pass. So far I've lost 19lbs and I can really see a difference. The hardest part to me is this damn liquid diet. I only have 3 more days left whoo hoo!. It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. My husband thought something was wrong with me because I was up cleaning the house and washing clothes 4 days after my surgery. Good Luck, It will all work out!

I just have to share this yummy discovery I made tonite! My friend (and WLS Angel) gave me a sample of Matrix Organge Cream protein powder and I used Tropicana Sugar Free Orange Ade and whipped it up in my magic bullet and poured it over lots of ice. OH BOY... tastes JUST like an Orange Julius and has 23 grams of protein and only 3 carbs! The Tropicana Orange Ade is non carbonated, has ZERO calories and carbs and NO caffeine! The Tropicana Orange Ade is right in the soda aisle in all the grocery stores and comes in either cans or 2 liter bottles. I get my Matrix Protein powder at either http://www.bariatriceating.com or http://www.netrition.com If anyone tries this you have to let me know how you like it! -Marianne C.
