    Pre-Op Liquid Diet

    Day 2 of liquid diet. Ugh! Need I say more? Sticking with it though. Using this time to try out all different types of protein drinks. Yesterday (day 1) I was able to get all my protein in from an herbalife shake (34 g) in the a.m. and an Isopure grape frost drink (40g). The Isopure is not so great but I knew I needed the protein. It seemed to leave a film on my teeth and lips. gag Today I am trying Icy Orange in the isopure over ice. I read that its much easier to take that way and they were right! For dinner last night, I had a can of tomato soup with taco seasoning in it and it was fine. One mistake I made yesterday though was drinking chicken broth. It was a powder I mixed and I found out today that it has 1100 mg of sodium!!!! For one 8 oz serving. Yikes!!! Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Body Wraps

    Has anyone tried the 'IT WORKS' body wraps? My arms will need a little help with the loose skin/flab after losing weight and I don't feel it would be enough for an arm lift so just wondering if anyone on here has used the body wraps.
  6. oh I want in!! My surgery is set for July 16th! SOOO excited. Y'all (I'm from TX) are lucky though because we have to have a cardiac stress test pre-op. Not just EKG but oh well, I'm jumping thru all the hoops!! EGD went fine, the drugs were great so I remember nothing. lol Good Luck all ! Very exciting and feel very blessed to have this new oppurtunity in life!!
  7. I look forward to being more active, and definitely buying smaller clothes!! Just feeling better about myself overall! Good Luck.
  8. Yes, that's a downer but the outlook from today forward is sunnier! Hang in there. You can do this!
