Topic: RE: Yikes!!!! My surgery is novemeber 5th!!
I am so nervous, I am looking forward to the middle of November when I will hopefully be feeling better and back home. I do good until I think about how close it is, then my stomach starts to turn. Wishing everyone the best of luck.

Topic: RE: Went for my PATs today.
I went to GNC in MI. I got a 2lb "Jar" for $27 and the second 1/2 off. Bought 4. Here I paid $50 for one and that was on sale.
The stuff I bought here is called Syntha-6. I have strawberry and is soooo good. The stuff I bought today is by the same company, but not sure of the name. The difference between the 2 is today's stuff is just whey and the other is different proteins.
Not sure what today's stuff is called. I'll have to check and let you know.
I also bought a bullet. Grape with 42g of protein for a "just in case" situation.
Good luck on your search.

Topic: Went for my PATs today.
I went for my PATs this morning. Thanks to some of you, I learned that getting there early would pay off, and it did. I was able to get right in and sign my forms, have my blood work done, my BP, temp and oxygen levels taken then right into the nutrition class. (That class was for the early group and I was actually in the later group) After class I went for my chest x-ray and gallbladder ultrasound.
I met with a doctor who gave me a physical then I had my EKG. Last but not least I seen the respetologist.
The results? lungs clear, blood normal, oxygen 100%, EKG, x-ray and ultrasound perfect and my lung capacity is 120% (20% above the predicted level)
The doctor said my liver feels small and not enlarged at all, even though I'VE GAINED 12LBS! since my consult in June.
After my PATs I did some shopping for my post op needs. I bought 4 more jars of protein powders in great flavours, I picked up more Crystal Lite, Atkins bars and oatmeal. I even found some SF freezys. Now I just need to pick up some soups.
I also bought some new PJs, a robe and some toiletries.
Now it's time to wait until Nov 10.

I wish I 'd have read this thread this morning before I went for my PATs. I'd have told them I had the allergy too LOL.
I wish you both the best of luck and a speedy recovery.
I'll be thinking of you both.

Topic: RE: Hey everyone....just an update on PATs
Kelly,
Thank you. It seem so obvious now. I scratched my head and just could not come up with it.. So I can now say that I do my PATS on Friday.
Seems like a fair amount of stuff to juggle, especially on a liquid diet when you are not as sharp. But I am almost there. PATS, and blood typing at the hospital and then I will be ready to go! Thanks again.

Topic: RE: PATs yesterday...
I'm going to be using the chocolate whey protein that you can get from walmart. I haven't had it with water before, I use fat free milk and it doesn't take too bad. I don't see my surgeon until the 29th so I don't know when I'll have to start my liquid diet, but my surgery is on the 4th.
