    My Food Funeral.

    Try unjury powder (unjury.com) Also I got a few things (ahead of time) at BariatricChoice.com. So far I've tried the Bariewise fruity ade drink mix (15 gm protein 0 sugar) the chicken soup and chocolate shake. Pretty good (all things considered) so far. If the shake is too thick try blending with some additional ice cubes, that will thin it out and made it colder and possibility more palable. Good luck, I have 5 weeks and 6 days to go yet.

    Who Have You Told?!

    My husband has been very supportive thru the whole "pre op" ordeal. I get sleeved on Sept 18. 2012. I have told a few people, not family yet, I waited for a "date" then I'll decide who knows what. My sister is very critical and a argumentive know it all so she may have to be uninformed. Several friends and acquaintances at work have had some type of WLS so there is my live support go to.

If you get a chance check out BariatricChoice.com--thye have a large vcariety of items, I tried the fruity ade and it was pretty good. Also how about GNC, pricey but could be helpful. Good luck. I get sleeved probably next month.

    Mini Me

    Hi, This is my first post. My name is Sandra McMahon-Gill (Sandy). I am 58 years young and awaiting approval from Keystone so we can get the ball (sleeve)rolling. It has taken me 3 years to get to this point, in 2008 I starting the necesssary steps when I was accidently unexpectedly diagnosed with ovarian cancer(stage one fortunetly), so I had the requisite hysterectomy but Yippee--no chemo or radiation necessary. Ok so get all past that and in 2011 tried again, when I came down with necrotizing facitis(a type of mersa), s--t, have to wait again. Thankfully I came out of the necro....with all parts intact! Finally Late Spring of 2012-I started the steps (one more time--3 is a charm--right) so here we are waiting for the almighty approval. I am hoping to get "sleeved" in mid september as my doctor (David Wernsing of Philadelphia, PA) is getting booked up. I've joined Vertical Sleeve Talk and and another blog. I've even contact a variety of Bariatric food sites to obtain samples. While talking to my hemotologist today, we discussed the upcoming surgery and he wishes to have me get Iron infusions, he says iron is not absorbed properly after these types of surgerys(any bypass type), since I am slightly anemia. The good part is that the infusion would only be once or twice a year. Been there- done that and it is painless. Has anyone else experienced this situation? Oh one more thing, is there a spell check available here? Later
