Thank you and I see you have a date of 10-20-09.  We are on our way!  keep in touch.

 I went to my pre-op class yesterday (9/30/09) and was there from 7am till 3.30pm and what a long day full of tons of info!!  
At the end of the day, they drew our names randomly as to who got the earliest surgery date and I was picked first!
I was planning on scheduling a date around mid-November so I can get things straight at work and mentally prepare myself for it all....now I have less than 2 weeks and I have to go on the liquid protein diet and buy vitamins and I'm overwhelmed!
There are a million different brands of vitamins and powders and I'm so confused as to what I should get!
If anyone can tell me what they bought, (in the cheaper range!) I'd really appreciate it!  I know there are all sorts of really expensive brands, but I don't have the money to pay $150 for a big can of protein powder (Isopure!)
If there are things I can buy at Wal-Mart or GNC that would be cheaper, please tell me what you use!
Thanks so much for your help!

GOOD LUCK!!! MY SURGERY DATE IS OCTOBER 6!!! LIKE YOU I AM NERVOUS OF THE AFTERWARDS IN HOW TO EAT PROPERLY!!!! HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT BY READING OTHER PEOPLES MESSAGES AND SUPPORT!

I just wanted to wish all of you great success and hope for a speedy recovery! You are all in my thoughts and I cant wait for your updates after your surgeries!

Best of luck to you all,

Well, work lowered the boom.  My surgery can not be on the 12th. Too many people off then so they won't let me off too.  I just left a message with the nurse at the Drs. office.  My heart is in my throat.
