Glad to see you are doing good thought about you alot these last few days. Just returned from the nut. Lost more weight have gone from 353 to 310. Still don't know anything from the insurance ~~ have not heard from MWB either. Lori is going to see what she can find out and email me. Did they tell you to put ice or heat on your pain areas?

Yeah, I asked them about support groups and they don't know of one in this area. My doc's office is an hour and a half away in Duluth, where there is a good support group. I was hoping to find one closer to home. Thanks for the advice! Bethany

Thanks for the wishes! Yes, it is beautiful in Hayward. Although, it took some getting used to for me, being originally from the West Coast. Good luck on your journey, too! It sounds like you've got the motivation, so keep it up!

I used to buy the non-flavored from GNC and put it in everything. You can buy sf syrups to mix with milk and whatever protein you get. But now that I don't use as much....I buy that bodyfortress from Walmart and mix a scoop (23grms of protein) in with my morning coffee and whip it for a minute for a mocha thingy.

Hey girl, Yes you did tell me about your nausea. OMG... I will take pain over nausea any day. Its funny I can feel my other tummy growl and rumble. In fact.. my tummy has been rather talkative lately! Thanks for the tips on the shakes. I will start those next week. They haev me on 1 week of clear liquids.. then i start on the mush... I have no idea what protien powder to get or anything. Right now i LOVE my broth.. simply because it has a strong flavor. I'm tired of fruity **** like the jellow and sf popsicles.and plain water. On the upside.. I only have 4 more days of this type of diet. My bday is Saturday.. I may go all out and splurge on a different broth flavor and by the real expensive SF jello in some exotic flavor... nummmmmmm lol. So let me ask you...do you prefer non flavored protien shakes so you can sprinkle it on anything? Or do you prefer a flavored shake and drink that alone?
