Topic: RE: My DS is scheduled for 12/16/09
I've started a protein shake diet and am supplementing with food as needed.  I started out doing just shakes, but it was too fast of a change.  My body revolted and my glucose actually went up due to the stress.  Caffeine is probably my greatest obstacle to overcome, but it's going well. 

I think determination and commitement describe anyone who goes thru this process.  I look forward to following your progress!  Thank you for the note of encouragemtent!

My surgery is on 12/7 too,,,,I feel the exact same way...we're going to do great.  My counselor said to stick to the information (which is so much) and follow all the drs instructions and I'll do great....I'll remember you that day and say a little prayer for all of us having surgery on 12/7/09..

Topic: RE: Surgery Dec 14
 My surgery is due on 14th too but I am in London, England but my thoughts and prayers are with all my fellow sleevers in the US ....I am really nervous ...mainly about the genaral anaestetic but know that I have made the right decision to do this as I can't carry on the way I have been and I am totally looking forward to a new healthy life which is so close I can almost touch it .......when I am feeling low I read others stories on here and have a quick flick through the before and after pics and get huge inspiration that it won't be long before that will be me !! .....well us !! 
Good luck to all Dec sleevers ......all we have to lose is weight !

Topic: RE: 12/8 RNY

Kerry I ordered that Oasis Mouth Spray from drugstore.com I had seen it mentioned somehwere here and couldn't find it at Kmart, I didn't look anywhere else. I heard tis nice to have after surgery when your mouth is super dry and you can't have anything.

Which protein shakes are you using. I have the Bariatric Advantage and Unjury. I like the unjury better is less thick. I dont' like that gooey thick consistency and I thought the BA was too sweet. I do Love their control bars, my kids keep eating the darn things.

  
Be humble or you will stumble.

Congratulations!

My RNY is scheduled for 12/8.

The one thing I cannot wait to do is try Yoga again and actually be able to do the basics. 

Let us know your progress.
