I'm New

Hello Everyone, I am new here and just got my surgery date, June 12. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what I should do to prepare for my surgery. I am very nervous and want to be in the best possible shape for my surgery so that it is successful. Any suggestions? Also, what have you found to be the best tasting protein powder and the best priced vitamins? What will I need to take daily? I would really appreciate any advice at this point. I would also love to have an angel assigned to me. Any takers? Thanks, Mousie

Hi mouse,,welcome,just follow Dr.Instructions and you will be fine,,as far as protien drink goes,I use nectar fuzzy naval with a little crystal light mixed in ,,not too bad.Keep postin,,cyndee

Hey there, Welcome to the OH Family. Go to your state main board and let them know you need an angel. They will definately be alot of takers, if not let me know and I would be more than willing to help you out in any way I can. I live in CT so I wouldn't be able to come visit, but I can support you in anyway I can. Good luck and welcome to a great journey. Hugs KimC

Thanks Kim, I am actually from CT, which is why I came to the CT Board. I have also been to the MI board with no luck finding an angel. I'll keep looking I guess. I'm sure someone will offer soon. Mousie

Well, Welcome to CT Mouse! (where abouts were you from in CT before you went to PAWPAW) ~ o thats fun to say...Paw Paw! Protien shakes... I have used the one for the wish center (you can order online www.wishcenter.com) theirs are best (I think) and have all the vitamins you need in them (created by the wish center that does high risk RNYs. I also use Isopure powder (Hate the clear fluid drink) but the powder is good... and has 50g of protien per shake! WOW..... Best Wishes for a smooth and complicated-free journey! Its one HELL-OF-A-RIDE! Sweet Mammy
