Thanks Kelli! The best part of this board is the fabulous support and the realization that we are all in this together and each and every one of us can offer each other so much in ways we would never imagine possible.
I got your PM about protein shakes. Personally, I like the ones from GNC - that are the GNC brand made of Whey protein. They come in all flavors - one of my favorites was cookies and cream. I suggest that if you're gagging them down that you might want dilute a little more with milk or water so they're less thick. Another way to get protein while you're on the LD is the ISOPURE which you can also get from GNC. It's a flavored water with a ton of protein, but I'd only buy one to start, they have kind of a dry after taste so not everyone likes them.
Just remember that this is for a very short period of time (even though it doesn't feel like it right now). But this time will pass and it is such an important exercise not only for the success of the actual surgical procedure but as some what of a test for how you will survive after surgery while being on liquids and pureed for the weeks afterward.
Take care and hang in there. Before you know it you too will be posting your one-year update! It is definitely on heck of a ride - so make sure to strap yourself in, cuz you're in for the best ride of your life!
Take care sweets and let me know if you need anything else!

I'm so glad to hear that you too are changing and beginning to love yourself. How can something so easy be so difficult to allow ourselves to do. The head stuff that goes along with being overweight is intense and definitely nothing to be taken lightly....then again, maybe it was the head stuff that got us overweight in the first place. I may never know...but being on the self-loving side of this journey sure beats the self-loathing side any day of the week.
Congrats to you and THANK YOU for your continued love and support. I appreciate it more than you will ever know!
