Topic: RE: What should I bring to EMMC?
Please do check. I think at this point I would want to come to the group - if only for a little bit.

You are a wonderful person!

Topic: What should I bring to EMMC?
My big day for becoming little is this coming Thursday.  What would you suggest that I bring to the hospital? I'll be at EMMC.  What shouldn't I bring?

Thanks!

Topic: RE: Day 6
It took awhile for it to show at all on me, probably 4-6 weeks. Then it doesn't feel like it changes as rapidly after that. I am 3.5 months out. I started bigger though, so it may just take longer to show because of my starting size.

I have a son with autism too -- Asperger's specifically, while that is still a diagnosis.

It sounds like you're doing great Tami!  The first few weeks it seems like it's a full time job to get in all your protein and fluids, but it does get easier.  Just keep doing what you're doing and all will be well.

I've been doing several diff. protein shakes.  I have some New Lifestyle ones left over from a previous liquid diet attempt and those I like a lot.  They do have more carbs than is recommended 7 but they go down easy, have 14 grams of protein and only 100 calories so the nutritionist wasn't concerned, especially for the beginning.  I also have tried some unjury with milk which was ok but not delicious.  I have tried about 100 different premixed kinds, both samples and some my dh bought (he's 5 yrs out from RNY and trying to "behave" again with me) and I hate them all.  I tried some isopure grape this morning and it tasted ok but I only got about half down and it's sitting like a rock for the past 3 hours, not sure why.  I feel very bloated today and bought some gas x strips, I feel like I'd feel a lot better if I could let out a huge burp!  Very tired from my errands with my daughter but now I'm home and can relax.  I can't take any pain meds till dh gets home but if I sit or lay down it's ok.    All in all I'm still doing well, it's hard for me to sit still.
