Hi!!!

How was the reunion? Is it nice to be home or was the vacation too short?

Congrats on the Dr. appointment....it's a giant step closer to your surgery date!

I think my appointments were each a couple hours apart. The doctor's office took forever..and he was late getting to me, so my appointment lasted like 10 with him. I walked to the internist, but had to hustle cuz I thought I would be late...they were running behind too. I walked back to my car and drove to the psych lady. It was at her home. A really nice townhouse. It was peaceful and so tropical... I just sat on her porch and read until she opened the door.

I'm getting more nervous. Although, I have the day before surgery off work, so I can get my house cleaned. Then I have the week off after. I'm looking forward to that almost as much as the surgery 


Take care!

So I received my first batch of supplies in the mail today.

I have a sweet tooth, but I think too many dessert flavored protein drinks would get old quick.

I ordered Unjury chicken soup (has no animal products) to mix with veggie broth, and the Unjury unflavored to mix with crystal light, broth, apple sauce, jello, etc after surgery.

I tried the unflavored as soon as I got it...cuz I was excited. I mixed it with cherry-pomegranate crystal light. It was amazing! No weird taste at all. I mixed it over ice (which wasn't the smartest way to do it) so I had to shake the crap out of it, to make sure it all mixed to a liquid and was consistent.

I haven't tried the soup yet. But I will update tomorrow.

Unjury is pretty pricey for my budget. I only plan to use it for the first couple months after surgery. I am super paranoid about the required protein intake. I don't have a whole lot of hair to start with and can't afford major hair loss.

I ordered the vitamins from the same site. The once a day chewable bariatric multi vitamins with iron are delish (if you like sour things)! The calcium citrate are good, but WAY TO BIG. They suggest four a day of the calcium. Even though they are chewable, it's way to much for me now. I am going to keep looking for a good calcium supplement.

I'll probably continue using their multi vitamins, because they are high in the RDA for what we need...and they taste good...oh and they aren't that expensive (and that's a biggest factor).

Let me know how you rate the products you've tried. Some of this stuff is way too expensive to buy and then not like.

8 days and counting.....  Becca

Thanks girl.

Glad you'll be sticking around the area a little longer. We definitely need to catch up, and now I don't have to worry about extra baggage who could be a real party pooper!

I've actually enjoyed today and setting up my room. I finally get to decorate the way I want it without someone going "that's gay", or "thats a stupid idea".

I have to say, my new room looks fantastic. The ex even commented "oh yeah, that actually does look really good together".! HAH! You idiot! lol

Oh heck yes, I'm totally up for Disney or Universal!!
