I ordered about 15 samples of the Nectar from Vitalady.Com   A few of them were "Nectar Naturals" and "Nectar Sweets."  It'll be interesting to try them out, thats for sure.  I figure I might as well check the stuff out now so I know what to expect in the months ahead....

I did hear that the Fuzzy Navel was rockin'...now if I only could Spice up the protein with a little alcohol.....grin.

Mr. Rhody!

Congrats on the weight loss! 

I had a friend who was a traveling salesman.  He was on the road 4 days a week.  He hated eating out all the time, plus the calories were increasing his waistline, too!  He started purchasing the canned soup, fruit and veggies and carrying it with him.  There was always a microwave in his hotel room so he could warm the soup and veggies up and a fridge to keep the fruit cold.  He also carried a small cooler, too, with ice packs to keep his leftovers cool until he could eat the following evening. 

Protein shakes might make a good lunch, every once in awhile, too.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Johanna!  I did just that, and you are so right,  I got an answer!   I searched the 20's message board and there was a question just like mine.  Several people answered.  The main answer seems to be... most doctors will say not to or only on special occasions.  The experienced people say to stay away from high sugar drinks, but a glass of wine or drink is ok.   Also the biggest concern is ADDICTION TRANSFER.   They are very concerned about that. So i think I may just have to try something this weekend.   Thanks again!  Great idea !   Eldy

From start to finish:  I saw Dr. Roye on January 16th, got my testing done and had my surgery on April 10th.  Sleep study is the one test that may hold things up, it takes a while to get reports and then there may be additional testing.

Thank you everyone!  Im still doing well.  Im not sure how much Ive lost but it looks like about 20 lbs since the start of my pre op diet! yay!!
