I can't believe the time is almost here. I'm prepared as I'll ever be, I guess. My surgery is on Wednesday. Spent last week running around to get everything I'll need. I have all my supplements, including liquid or chewable for the beginning, and I'm fully stocked on protein powder (AllMax IsoWhey (chocolate) & Bulk Barn's unflavoured), and Protein Ice water (link) for the road ahead. I've been on Opti for 5 weeks, so it was a pleasure to actually do some grocery shopping, for when I get home from the hospital. I have never been so excited to be looking forward to having yogurt, pudding, apple sauce, or even milk.  :)   Today's agenda is laundry, laundry, and more laundry. Digging through my closet to dig out clothes that I will be able to wear again!

Thank you. I'm doing my best to be prepared for my new life... and once recovered, new career. Just to complicate things :)

Haha, sure. But not sure there's enough time in the day to do more :)

Best of luck to you with your surgery!  Have not tried the Protein ice, which ones taste best?

Thank you.

I've only tried two flavours of the Protein Ice - watermelon and grape.  I definitely like the grape better, but I find they still have a whey'ey taste to them.

Good luck to you....I am having my surgery tomorrow.  And I too cannot wait for applesauce and such...but as I am going through Guelph, I will have to wait a week post surgery to indulge.  (but diluted apple juice will do !)

See you on the bench.

Hey I totally know what you mean! Last night I covered my closet clean out extravaganza. Found some clothes I haven't seen in quite a few years. Glad I didn't pitch them, now it's going to be a whole new wardrobe! My surgery is Thursday, but I will wish you good luck, and can't wait to hear how your recovery is coming along. You're a day ahead of me, so you can try the food first and let me know :)
