HI---we live about 15 miles south of Spencer out in the country off Hwy 67.  We will be going to St V's Tuesday for both of our pre op classes, then Jan 8 for my surgery then Jan 14 for Lyn's pre op testing, then his surgery on Jan 27.  I think Camby is right off 67, right?  If you ever need me to pick up anything for you we could meet along the Hwy somewhere as we head home..  I know I have seen the sign for Camby.

Just let me know.

Thanks,  Terry

Terry, that's cool!  My in laws used to live in Spencer.  Yep - I live in Heartland Crossing - where the Meijer's is - right on 67.  That would be fantastic!  Thank you!

Chris,
You have a PM

Sounds great---keep those dates in mind and let me know if you need anything when we are there and I can meet you at Meijers or somewhere in the area.  Is that where Shanna lives too?  I think I remember someone else living close to there.

Keep in touch,  Terry

Yep Shanna lives here too!  It's cool having her so close!

Terry,
 I live just west of Mooresville and about 5 min from Meijers.. Mommy Lissa lives close, Shanna, and a few of my old surgery buddies... if ya ever come thru let us all know and maybe we can meet for lunch...

Sounds great--I would love to get together.  I couldn't go to Shanna's parties but maybe can make it to the next one if anyone in that area has booked any.  Would love to meet you all.

THanks,  Terry

Melissa, I know you are struggling right now but I promise that it will get better! I live in Pittsbor so I am not too far from you. If you need ANYTHING feel free to contact me! I know that is expensive to keep trying different protiens. I did better with the ready to drink. My nut alows Slimfast Low Carb. It has more protien than the High Protien Slimfast! I made SF pudding with liquid protien and it was good.Feel free to contact me.  My phone numbers are in the directory. Jana Wolf

Girls, i wanted to make you aware that St.V's ships all products to you for free.  So, If you need anything it might be a little cheaper than ordering online from another supplier.  Just a thought.  Wasn't sure if you knew.


Also, look up UNJURY for a protein source.  They have samples they can ship to you for like @ bucks and you can try them.  They have strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, chicken soup, and unflavored.  It's the best type of protein powder that I have found so far.  Not icky at all.

I am really enjoying the interaction among all of you.  It makes me so happy to see you working together through this.  Group hugs!!!

Melissa, you are being too hard on yourself.  It's not an easy process.  You are doing great and remember that you are taking the right attitude and right approach.  It is a huge change to your body so things will take time.  It's like having a newborn.  You have to learn the signals and how to fine tune to the way your pouch reacts.  You will learn to know your pouch and listen to it.  Believe me!!!  LOL

The Centrum Chewables are Orange flavored.  They don't taste bad but do leave an aftertaste unless you take them with a meal. I would try them with your soup so they don't sit on your pouch while it is empty.

Good luck girls!  Love ya'll!

I didn't know they would ship for free either.  I stopped in there Tuesday and bought the fuzzy navel protein nectar stuff.  Does anyone remember what people mix with that?

I am really interested in all of you that have recently had surgery since mine is just 18 days away.  YIKES.  I appreciate all the tips and what to expect even if it is gas and some unpleasant things!!! 

And the support from all of you that had surgery a few months ago or even a few years ago is great.
