4 more days til surgery.

I have 4 more day til surgery. I am exicted and scared a little. I have bought the whye fruity protein drinks, and fixed it but was not delighted. any suggestion for making it better. any last minute advice?

hI, GOOD LUCK,GOOD LUCK,GOOD LUCK. THERE ARE SO MANY PROTEIN DRINKS OUT THERE. SOME HAVE AS MANY AS 40 GRAMS OF PROTEIN. SOME STORES SELL A SAMPLE OF THEM. I GET THE EAS CHOCOLATE FROM WALLMART. 1.25 A PIECE AND 15 GRAMS OF PROTEIN. 100CALORIES. I DONT KNOW WHY BUT PEOPLE EITHER HATE CERTAIN ONES OR LOVE THEM. BRING LIP BALM. MY LIPS WERE REALLY DRY. RELAX..IT WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. ONCE YOU HAVE THE SURGERY,AND AS SOON AS YOUR DOCTOR SAYS IT IS OK, START EXERCISING. I HAD SURGERY 4 MONTHS AGO AND TIME HAS SLIPPED AWAY. I AM STILL NOT ONTO A GOOD PROGRAM. TAKE IT EASY.

hi, lizz, thank you for all your advice. This site sure helps. again thanks.

Good luck to you!! Who is your surgeon? I see you live all the way up in Eustis. My boyfriend's parents live in Wildwood and the area seems so quiet! Everything is going to go fine. Just follow Dr's orders and things should go smooth. Spend the weekend relaxing and taking time out for yourself. Keep us updated!

maurice. thanks for encouragement. I love it here in Eustis. I am going to relax as much as my three kids will allow. Everyone on this site make this surgery so much easier to deal with.

Congrats on your surgery and good luck with your recovery. I like many protein drinks but have found I don't care for the fruity ones. I like Proplete and Elite brands best for the dry mix and get the EAS AdvantEdge pre-mixed kind for on-the-run. Order some samples online and see which ones you like best rather than spend big money on the canisters. Recently, I ordered some from valleynutrition.com and they had free shipping. Let us know how you are doing Amy

Hello Amy thanks for the information you gave on the protein drinks. you have a great night.

Good luck on your surgery. I remember being where you are because it has only been a few days for me. Just relax and let the surgeon and staff do all the work. Getting up afterwards is very important. My family had me up walking that very evening because of doctors orders. I have done great with no pain since I got out of the hospital. I walk everyday several times and I am going by doctors orders on food. I took toddler wipes for the restroom visits and they helped. some people take long wooden spoons or tongs for restroom help since you may not be able to bend over. Keeps you independent during those times. It worked!!! Before you know it they will be booting you out of there and you'll be back home. Let us know how you are doing we care. Carol
