UPDATE!!!
I am so excited to anounce that I am offically having my WLS on October 12, 2009. I couldent be more excited! So, first thing, first. I went to do my Colposcopy yesterday, and I got in the room undressed and on the table, and quess what....that darn table would not go up or down so that she could proform the procedure, so she left the room for ten minutes or so, and came back with the names of two vitamins, and said she would clear me for surgery as long as I came back in three months to see her for a follow up pap smear. I agreed, danced my way out of her office. So I only had to pay $130, and not $480, I'd do that any day!
So, today I have my two hour class on WLS, and think I will be starting my pre-op liquid diet. As far as that goes, I refuse to let food run my life and will not cheat!!!!
I really dont know what else to say, but I would like to thank everyone for all the love, joy, support, and kindness that is shared on this fourm. I dont know that I could have done it with out you all!!!
Well I will post again later when I know more!

I like mixing a scoop of cholocate with 8oz 1% milk . It tastes just like chocolate milk and you get 28 grams of protein.
I didn't like crystal light. But I love Ocean Spray Rasp-pomogrante little packets like crystal light. Nice and refreshing cranberry taste. I use the Unflavored UNjury in it. On the UNjury don't shake or blend. It makes it too foamy. Just stir wait a minute stir wait another minute then it is dissolved completely.
What day are you leaving the hospital???? I know your surgery is on Monday. I'll stop by and say Hi if you are still there Wednesday Okay????

Thanks for the advice on the Unjury protein powder. Im like you with the crystal light, I just think it is to strong of a flavor and can do with out it. I will hve to get some of the ocean spray packets, they sound lovely.
I will be in the hospital tell Thursday, and will be let out then with good behavior. lol.
If you are feeling up to it, you can certainly stop by anytime you would like. From what I understand there is only one wing and floor that they send us to, because the nurses are trained for us and out needs.
How are you doing with your prepreation, and the liquid diet. I dont start mine tell monday, they said that i had lost so much weight so far that I didnt need the extra week of the liquid diet.
Oh so many things to think about and get done i have no idea where to start. Honestly its just sinking in, what a journey im about to start on. I hadent exspected all the emotions and strange feelings that came with reciving an operation date. Well alrigty I wish you luck and keep in touch girlly...I think we are lucky to have someone who is undergoing the same process at the same hospital. Good luck and lots of luv,
Melissa
Luvs, and blessings,
