Thanks for the well wishes!! I am on my second day of my pre op fast, and I am down 5 pounds!! (ummmm do you think water weight??? oh yeah!) A little over a week and a half and it is op day!! I am very excited!! I decided that i hate muscle milk...it has a really gross after taste..yuck!! I will start my breathing exercises today (spirometer) which the doctor has asked me to do. I am also taking all my vitamins...b12, multi, and calcium citrate....plus they said if i am hungry to take one pill each at 10 am and 3 pm of metamucil, and for burning fat 1 chromium picolanate a day!! So that is my plan....and I'm sticking to it!! hahaha. Anyway, I will post later on.
