Topic: RE: Heather (Starflower) Had Her Surgery Today!!

Thanks for all the love & support to EVERYONE!!! I'm feelen' great & don't have many complaints. The hospital staff was awesome from the surgeon & surgical team to the nurses, CNA's and even food tray people and janitors. LOL. Everyone was so helpful. I had a lot of calls just prior to & during the the hospital stay. My husband & parents were there during the actual surgery & recovery. My husband stayed both nights, but came back to Salem for a while the 2nd day. When he came back later that night, he was shocked to see how much better I was walking & moving around. I feel great, but also think when I rest in bed I feel more healed when I get up, so back toi bed I go. LOL. Thanks to all for youre support.

Topic: RE: Protein Shakes Please Help!

Thanks for the tip. I've thought about trying some shakes pre-op but some have suggested waiting until post-op because they might taste differently. There are just too many things to think about now that surgery is getting closer.

Question: Are the protein powders mixed with skim milk or water? I have some trouble digesting milk and am curious how my "new" stomache is going to react to the shakes. I'll be discussing it with the nutritionist at my last pre-op appointment.

You WILL get there if it is what you really want.

Stay positive and take it one day at a time.

I don't know what I would have done without the support from others over the last two years. I so appreciate everyone here who openly shares their thoughts, ideas, and experiences; it's helped me manage the rough times.

Hang in there! :)

Oh yeah! I'm so glad everything went well, and thanks for the update. I just texted your phone Kristy, asking if you'd heard anything. Guess I should have thought to check here first, huh?

After all the hard work Heather's done to get to this point, I am so excited for her to be on her way to a brand new life. Congrats Heather and I'm so excited that you're on the losers bench with the rest of us losers. LOL!

That is wonderful! Who is your surgeon and where will you have the surgery performed?
I was the same way when I found out the date - excited and nervous. You will be so happy after it is all done.
Good Luck,
