Im trying not to think too much about it...but when I do, I get excited and get butterflys in my tummy, and then a wave of nausea takes over. LOL Im pretty sure its normal!

CONGRATS! You are fairly close to me, October 3rd. I am finding that now I'm getting more worried/scared than excited, since I first got my date. Trying to stay positive though. Hope you can stay excited, and not get worried.

I only buy Whey protein isloate in powder form and mix it with skim milk.
Topic: RE: Garret Support Group
There was only one meeting, on Tuesday,June 21st. They will be having more, but they are in the process of setting it up. I was told that it should be restarting in the fall, but the format will probably be quite different because they are now interviewing interested individuals in order to set-up separate groups of 10. My interview is next week, Aug. 17th, so I should know more about it, after that.

Topic: Thoughts on protein
I priced out some of the protein products at the Costco in Bellingham, I haven't gone anywhere else yet...but I thought it would try and keep track of them, so when I need to buy some I'll have an idea of cost.
Can anyone tell me if the powder is okay to use for the pre-op/post-op liquid diet? Or if you strictly have to use the pre-made stuff? It's a question I have noted to ask the dietitian next time I see her.
Here's the info I found out so far...
Bellingham Costco:
Premier Nutrition Shake is in premade bottles (30g protein, sugar 1, calories 160, carbs 5) - 18 (11oz) bottles for $23.49
Glucerna is pre-made bottles (10g protein, sugar 6, calories 200, carbs 26) - 24 (8oz) bottles for $29.99
Whey Protein is in a premade bottle (20g protein, sugars 2, calories 140, carbs 8) - 18 bottles for $24.99
Whey Protein Powder Isolated (27g protein, sugars 1, calories 130, carbs 2) - 80 servings - $36.49
