You are having surgery on my birthday! My surgery is 7/14/10. Stock up on protein powder, cream soups, flavored sugar free syrups (for less boring shakes), sugar free pudding, and buy some 4 oz ramekins or bowls to get you used to the new portion sizes. Good luck! Check my blog if you want the blow-by-blow account of my experience, since I'll be a week ahead of you.

Donna, Thank you so much. That will be great . I will keep an eye on your progress that will be great.
