Aren't you the lucky one. I don't mind the liquids right now. In fact I am having jello and chicken broth right now. But that bowel prep last night was a killer.
I am a little jittery but doing ok. I am going to clean today to keep my mind occupied. Thank you and everyone for you prayers,thoughts and advices. Keep them up. I will have my daughter post for me on Friday to let everyone know how I am doing.
God Bless you.

Topic: RE: Protein shakes anyone?
there are several places on the web that will send you samples to try. I never could tolerate the shakes. I go to GNC and buy the Isopure No Carb drinks. Each bottle has 40 grams of protein and like drinking kool-aid.
a couple websites I know about is www.vitalady.com and www.unjury.com. You might also check with GNC on samples.
Good luck on your surgery and keep us posted. Hope this helped.

WOW! I did not have to do any bowel prep or liquids. I just had to quit eating at 6 p.m. the night before and no liquids after midnight.
All your feelings are normal. It can seem overwhelming but ohhhhh wait until you start losing. It will all be worth it. I am 6 months out and would do it again in a heart beat.
Good luck and thoughts and prayers will be coming your way. Keep us posted...when you can.

Congratulations! Those 5 lbs. will come off in no time and you will be in the 200's. I don't think anyone can explain how much better we feel after this weight loss. I have not really found the words to describe it.
Keep up the good work! And let us know when you hit the 200's.

The Metronidazole is a killer if you don't get it down on the first try. I actually vomited mine back up.
My drain site is so sore and irritated. I talked with Gina and she said to take 2 extra strengh tylonal and clean with peroxide.
Also did Dr. Hamad tell you about a home health nurse that will be coming to your house? I had no clue until the day after my surgery they set up arrangements. She came here twice, but did absolutly nothing.

Thank you Heather. Hope you are feeling better. Yes that nasty bowel prep. I hope I never have to go through with that again. How are you doing on the liquids. I am not hungry yet but wait until tomorrow. Did the antibiotics make you sick? Well talk to you later.

Hi Kathy,
You are in good hands. I also had surgery at 7:30am. We stayed at the Hampton Inn right beside Magees the night before. So far the worst part of the surgery has been the bowel prep and this stupid drain. I will checking in on you on Thursday. Goodluck.

Well counting down to the wire about 33 more hours to go and I am on my way. Had my pre-op visit,signed consent forms and all that stuff and now doing the clear liquids for today and tomorrow and doing the dreaded bowel prep. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! 
I hope this all worth it which I am sure. My surgery is schedule for 7:30 Thursday morning if nothing happens. I will leave here about 3:00 a.m. to get there by 5 or 5:30. My girls are very worried about me but I tried to tell them I will be ok. I am scared,nervous and excited too. This is a big step for me. But I can't wait to be on the losing side. Well I better go for now.
