Congrats! I just wanted to wish you the best..My surgery is on the 5th too. I will be in Sioux Falls, but I will be thinking of you!!! Good luck! See you on the losing side! Christine

My Nut would not allow us to do shakes. She said we needed to learn how to eat so that we could develop proper eating habits for life. I do put the whey protein in 1% milk, but I having a real hard time with my calcium as I can hardly drink any milk. I try to do the Activa Yogurt and drink at least one glass of milk a day, but not doing very good ... Congratulations on your surgery!!!!!!! I know the feelings...but it is worth it. LOL Let us know how it goes.

So I am scheduled for surgery on December 5th...6 days from now..with Dr. Sufficool in Rapid City...I am very excited and nervous and every other emotion that a person can go through...I am feeling...I was finally approved for surgery yesterday and am very excited about that.. I have bought some protein and I bough the 100% Whey Protein..I bough vanilla...bad choice..but found that if you put a lid over it the smell isn't so bad...I was wondering if you could add it to milk? I have a hard time with getting my calcium the way it is..I thought maybe that would help...Also Does anybody have any protein drinks that they would recommend? let me know..Thanks!

Congrats on making it to the Loser's Bench Ruth Ann
