UPDATE!!! HOME FROM SURGERY!!!

Kevin, I am starting my 5 day liquid diet tomorrow for pre-op laproscopic rny. I went to GNC to find protein drinks which I can have during the first 3 days of the diet. One of the Sales associates showed me a pre-made gatorade like protein drink w/40 grams of protein and 0/carbs, 0 sugar. He said it tasted great and is very easy to sip (perfect for you). It is called Cytosport Protein that is 100% whey. I don't know if most have to be milk based after surgery but I had a hard time finding them w/o the sugar & carbs. I will tell you how it tastes tomorrow. Good luck and sounds like you are off to a good start...

Welcome home..now please talk to me . my surgery is the 18th and i have a lot of questions. getting a little nervous. thanks, becky

Kevin...I am so thankful your doing so well. I am three days post op and still taking this minute by minute. The pain has been very managable today with less gasey episodes. Been walking a couple of times so all in all I think I am hanging in there. I too am a christian and felt this was Gods will for my life (to have the surgery). Some of my friends didn't think this was possible cause God loved me just the way I was and didn't appreciate me altering my body, lol...oh well...they will get over it. Have a Blessed Day and recovery time.

hey rita!! how are you doin? me im great the only thing i have struggled with is that last foothold that my mind still wants to eat and i have to stop myself from not getting into trouble so if there is anything i can ask that you can pray for me is that i will have lots of self control ! not that i dont have it but i have my moments of weakness but i wont give in ! ok enough of ''confession'' time lol i just need to get that of my chest. but other than that i am doing well i have lost 12lbs in a week and it seems like its just melting off! praise God! so what kind of protien are you using? messege me back and sorry for the rants take care and remember you are awesome!! your losing friend! kevin
