I have a date!!!!!

I finally have my surgery date, my journey will begin on 1-15 with my pre op ultrasound and pre op meeting with Dr. Morgan and then surgery on the 1-28!!!!! I cant wait to get started. I hate that I have to wait almost a month, but it does give me time to get my vitamins and such together and get my house in order. Anyone have any pre surgery advice? Happy New Year to all!!!!!     April

Congratulations, April!!  You are one step closer to a great & healthy life!  If we can help in any way, let us know... My personal advice is to not buy a lot of stuff beforehand.  Your tastes will change and what is good now may not be so good later.  I prefer the Flintstones chewables with Iron (they're smaller than Centrums), B12 spots (they're small & dissolve fast) & there's several protein drinks I like:  Herbalife Peach Mango & Wild Berry (they have 15 grams of protein in an 8 ounce glass & taste really good), Unjury Chicken Soup (20 grams), and New Whey Bullets (25 & 42 grams).  I'm 3 1/2 months out & still drink a lot more than I eat, so supplements are important.  I also use the Met-Rx Protein Plus bars (32 grams) to munch on throughout the day.  You have to be very careful with them, tho since they have sugar alcohols (it's a catch-22 situation because the sugar alcohols help me with constipation). Take it one day at a time - I guarantee the month will fly by!  Keep us informed & keep your blog up to date. I am VERY happy for you!  Hugs - Hellen

Hi Hellen Can you tell me where you get the Herbalife Peach Mango & Wild Berry?  Is it already mixed or do you have to mix it with anything?  Thanks for the info ~ sounds like something I would like.

Dollie

Hi, Dollie!  I actually get them from my partner who is an Herbalife distributor.  There's 7 packets in a box @ $10.95/box.  It's powdered & you mix them with water.  Both taste great - the Wild Berry we add a little Splenda to spruce up the taste.   If you'd like some, just give me a holler & we can order you some!  Our home # is 843-559-5485.  I live on Johns Island & work in North Charleston, but we can have it shipped straight to your house if you want.  Or if you know someone who sells Herbalife, they can hook you up. Hellen

I'd love to order a box.  I'll call you later today.  What time are you normally home?  Where do you work in North Charleston?  I live in Sumerville but my office is in Hanahan.

Congranulations April.  My surgey date is 2-1, so soon both of us will be on the losing side.  I saw that you are a nurse in summerville, so am I.  Just let me know if I can do anything for you since we live close by.

CONGRAUTLATIONS!!!!

That time will zip by so fast, you'll wonder where it went. Congrats, You'll probably go through a lot of different emotions while you wait, I know I did, but you'll be great. Good luck and God bless.

CONGRATS!!!!! Lots of luck to you!  You won't believe how fast it falls off.

Congrats to both of you having surgery coming up.  Mine was a year ago, Feb 7th.  Before you know it, months will have flown by and you will be skinny minny.  I too live in S'ville and if I can help, just let me know. Deb
