I am scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on May 13th!!!!  It is so surreal to finally have a date for surgery and it be so soon.  My stars are aligned and God has his hand in this, I know it for sure!!!  I can't stop smiling.  Oh happy day!!

It's the heart afraid of breaking, That never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking, That never takes a chance. It's the one who won't be taken You can not seem to give And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live. Now ... When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you think that health is only For the lucky and the strong ... Just remember, in the winter Far beneath the bitter snow, Lies a seed that with the Son's love, In the spring, becomes a ROSE!  Here's to Clirishu, our Cajun ROSE

I am so happy for you.  It will be here before you know it.  Have you gotten some samples of protein?  You can order samples from vitalady.com.  Are you having the surgery at Omega or in Slidell?

I have been on the protein shakes since March 3rd.  I only found two that I could stomach and one is getting harder and harder to swallow.  I am sure getting in the protein will be one of biggest challenges.  But, going into to surgery knowing that makes me work harder to prepare.  I am having the surgery in Slidell.
