Hello! Just wanted to submit a thread to introduce myself. I've been reading posts on VST for a couple months now, but would like to start interacting as my surgery date is less than a month away. Such a whirlwind of emotions... Excitement (that's about 90%), a little bit of simultaneous fear and hope. I've been contemplating this for many years, and am now more than ready to take the plunge. I'm in the healthcare industry myself, which is both helpful and harmful, but I know without a doubt this is the right thing for me now. Biggest concern isn't complications, but replacing the emotional eating I've done for so many tears with healthier outlets. Any tips on how you have handled this or plan to handle if would be appreciated. Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear back from some of you!

Pb2 is a powdered peanut butter brand that can be mixed into Protein shakes, or whatever you want to mix it in. It has a lot less calories and fat than regular peanut butter. And eventually you can reconstitute it to put on toast . It comes in chocolate PB flavor, too, which is delish!

My day is today too! In the surgery waiting room right now, ready to get this over with. Good luck to everyone else who goes today. This is an exciting new start for all of us'

Me too! Start my liquid diet on Wednesday... Never knew there were so many flavors is sugar free jello!
