I normally wear a medium length nails, but decided to cut them short for the surgery. Got them done last night, just felt that it would be better to have short nails during the procedure. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much 504chic for the reply & the support. this seems like a great group. i hope its okay to post questions here? even though I haven't received an invite.

Hello Everyone, My surgery is Monday morning, December 19, 2016. I am excited about this new phase of my life journey. I am ready to enjoy the rest of my life in a healthy & happy way. I am tired of carrying all of this excess weight (physically & emotionally) and looking forward to ALL things new. I welcome any suggestions that anyone cares to share. I am currently on my 48 hour Clear Liquids before my procedure. so far it's good. I was able to get the Isopure Protein Water from the GNC and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. some of the flavors are actually tasty: Green one, I think it is apple melon & the Coconut. I haven't tried them all yet, I did try the black tea and in ONE WORD - Yuck is how I describe it! LOL!!! I am lactose intolerant so I am not doing the whey Protein, but I did find two good ones the Vegan Pea Protein and the Hemp Protein. They both taste okay, I made smoothies the other day and used them just to see what I was going to be experiencing, and they were not bad, a little chalky, but I added some fresh mango, blue berry and spinach to it and it was fine. I will be packing my bag today for the hospital stay, are there any items other than basic: PJs and toiletries that I should pack? Any tips that anyone can recommend? I am happy to be a part of this forum December 2016 Sleevers, and hope to learn a lot, as well as impart a lot. I hope the best success to all 12 2016 sleevers! HAPPY SLEEVING!!!
