I Got My Date!!!

Attended the all day pre surgery classes at DePaul today and scored a 24 June surgery date!!!  This is moving really fast!  One of my sisters is driviing out to help with my grandson, so that's a big worry off my mind. Where in Springfield will I  be able to find Protein and other things I need?.  I think I remember someone saying that UN was available at Food for Less???  Any help would be appreaciated. 

It is ON that is available at Food for less....wish you would come to the Circle of Friends Support meeting on the 23rd....would love to have you. 

What flavors does it come in?  Oh, and where is it located at within the store and about how much is it?  Counting pennies with all these trips that we are having to make to STL. I would love to come to the meeting on the 23rd, but hubby and I will be heading for St. Louis for my surgery early on the 24th!! lol  I promise I will make it to a meeting soon!

it is a little expensive but no more than most of the powders that are out there. I think it was 39.00 plus tax for a 5 pound container. which last me more than a month and i drink  2 to 3 of the drinks a day... it is located at the front of the store on the farthest side of the store when you go in. and the ON is located on the last shelf of where the protein powders are toward the outside of the building.  it comes in Strawberry, choc and vanilla, rocky road, cookies and cream , and some others that i cant remember , i just buy the vanilla and can always make it into some other flavor if i want to. You can get sugar free nestles quick and mix with it. or mix it with any flavored crystal lite .. Ihave found that if you mix it first with really warm water, just barely enough to mix it ....then add your cold flavored water it mixes up really reall y well. take care and hope your surgery is a sucess and have your hubby call me and let me know how your surgery went ok? email me at [email protected] and i will give you my phone number.  and what is your name lol  

Thanks so much Jan for helping me with this!!  Your a lifesaver.  I never thought I would be having surgery this soon and I feel very unprepared!  Do you think I will be okay with just the protein powder or do you suggest some other ways to get protein in at first? Is there a place in Springfield where I can purchase the vitamins, etc. that I need?  I would also like to purchase some of the sugar free syrups.  Where is everyone getting them at?  Your suggestion for the chocolate is great and I will buy some. I think my husband and I will be heading for Springfield on Friday to pick up the things I need. If I can figure out how to put my picture for the avatar I will put it up later. and my name is---------------------- Jackie
