FLU SHOT

WELL, HELLO MS MARIAN ... IT'S WED ALREADY ... BUT, NICK & I ARE DOING FANTASTIC. WE'RE STARTING TO BUY MY WLS FOODS. GOT STUFF FROM WALLY WORLD. I'M GOING ONLINE TONIGHT TO SEE WHAT WLS GOODIES I CAN FIND. ONE OF OUR "LOCOUNTRY BYPASS BUDDIES" MEMBERS, MS LORI, BROUGHT US EACH A SAMPLE OF "VERY BERRY VANILLA" PROTEIN MIX & OHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY GOSHHHHHHHH IS IT GOOD! I USE "HOOD CARB COUNTDOWN MILK DRINK" & I DON'T DILUTE THE POWDER ALL THAT MUCH SO THAT IT HAS A CREAMY TEXTURE ... YUMMMMY! I WON'T MISS MY SODA WITH GOOD TASTES LIKE THIS. WHETHER IT'S PRE-OP WEIGHT LOSS OR POST-OP WEIGHT LOSS, IT'S WEIGHT LOSS, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MERCY SWEETIE, THAT'S A POUND LOSS PER DAY FOR 25 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. WHEN DID YOU EVER DO THAT BEFORE? NEVER! THAT IS MIRACULOUS! THANK YOU GOD! MY SURGEON DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY SPECIAL KIND OF DIET, BUT I STARTED LAST MONDAY WITH PROTEIN DRINKS, PROTEIN BARS, FLUIDS, S-F THIS'NTHAT ... TRYING TO STAY OFF AS MANY CARBS AS POSSIBLE. NICK & I, MY PARENTS, NICK'S YOUNGEST SON, BRANDON, & HIS GIRLFRIEND, SAMANTHA, ARE GOING TO MY "LAST SUPPER" (SORRY LORD, IT'S A JOKE!) AT KOBE'S ... ONE OF THOSE FABULOUS PLACES WHERE THEY COOK RIGHT AT YOUR TABLE. ACTUALLY, EXCEPT FOR THIS DELICIOUS RICE & SESAME SEED DISH, EVERYTHING IS BROTH, MEAT OR VEGES! SOOO, NOT A BAD CHOICE AT ALL. I'VE NEVER TRIED EGG-BEATERS ... WHY NOT JUST EGGS? BUT, THAT DOES SOUND YUMMMMY, EVEN NOW! I KNOW DR BRYNE HAS SOMETHING ON THIS SITE ... I'LL HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE WHAT IT IS. KEEP ME POSTED MS, MARIAN ... GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND DAWN & NICK

Hi Dawn, I think that you are very smart to try to stay away from carbs--The reason that my surgeon required me to eat the pre-op diet--was to reduce the size of the liver. The surgery is easier--especially if it is to be done laproscopically. I am recovering quickly and I don't seem to have any complications. I hope that your surgery gors as well as mine did. talk to you soon Be Blessed! Marian S.C.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I'M DOING IT EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT REQUIRED TO ... TO GIVE ME AN EXTRA EDGE DURING SURGERY! &, IT WON'T HURT TO LOSE A COUPLE #s IN THE MEANTIME! THANKS, MS MARIAN ... GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
