Topic: RE: AUGUST 25, DR. VIRGINIA WEAVER
Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I have already had all my test done. Dr. Weaver wants them all done 2 weeks before surgery date. Nothing to worry about, the worst thing is the blood work, and they took about 10 tubes on me. Afterwords I felt kind of faint for a while and I never do that. Must have been the amount of blood they took. Everything else is a piece of cake.
Good luck on your surgery and I will see you on the losers bench.

My date too!!! 
I like the Designer Whey 100 Calorie Protein powder from Trader Joes. I have it in both Choc & Vanilla. In the am - I start my day off with 1 c Nonfat milk, 1 scoop of choc protein powder, 2 t decaf coffee, 1 t fibersure - about 4 ice cubes - & blend - my own Frappachino! :-)
For lunch: I have 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup non fat milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 2 t of sf/ff banana cream pudding powder, and 1 t fibersure, and ice - it's a delish banana-strawberry smoothie! you can mix fruit and SF/FF pudding flavors for a great variety.
Last week at the support group I attend, the speaker let me know not to stockpile any favorite protein drink, because after surgery our likes/dislikes will change. What I liked before surgery may or may not be what I like after - just an fyi. :-)
Congrats on your surgery date! Wishing you all the best!

Topic: RE: AUGUST 19TH!
Hi, I am having my bypass tomorrow the 18th! I am nervous and excited all at one time! I too cried a couple of nights ago. I didn't want anyone to know since there really is "no reason" to cry. But here is my theory... I feel like I have lost a "loved one"... FOOD! In a way, I feel like I am mourning my old love affair with food. I have been married for just about 15 years, but it sort of makes me feel like I did when I was dating someone and then we broke up. CRAZY, I know! 
So, I keep telling myself that I have to end this toxic relationship and find a new one. After all, if I hadn't had those break-ups in the past, I would have never met my wonderful husband and had my wonderful kids and be living this wonderful life I have now!!
I too keep thinking of how great things will be after I lose the weight and can't wait for all the upcoming aha momments...
Stay strong and I will be looking for your posts in the next couple of weeks!

Topic: RE: Aug 20th- This Thursday
I feel that same anxiety too!!
lately I have been reading way too many blogs because I am starting to question if I choose the right surgery.. I have even called my surgeon and asked why he never suggested the DS. I swear when those individuals post they get you to thinking..
I am also freaked about my after care and pain etc.. just nervous a bit... but Its glad to have OH friends like you all that keep me going. We are all on the same road,lets walk it together.. Keep me posted on your progress and I will do the same..

Dont forget slippers with non-skid sole or slipper socks. I also brought some toiletries and my cell phone so I could text everyone.
