Hi! You know, I actually met with Dr. K too, but thankfully, my insurance paid for most of mine and he doesn't mess with insurance...he seemed nice enough, but I guess I just caught him on an "off" day... I am feeling a lot better today! The last few weeks have been rough, but it hasn't been awful- I had some complications... so I think I am a little different.... the hardest part at the hospital was having to go and do an Upper GI right after surgery... it was really difficult to get up out of bed and stand there and drink that nasty barrium! Plus, I am DEATHLY afraid of needles, so I was not happy about the IV or all the blood thinner injections... But you just have to keep telling yourself that it is totally worth it!! For the week prior, make sure that you get all the things you will need... like broths, clear liquids, Jell-O, Isopure is good, I liked the grape falvor, you can get at GNC or Vitamin Cottage... I'm not sure what Dr.K's program is, But Dr. Snyder's wants us to get at least 65g of protien/day, which is super hard the first week!! Isopure has 42g in a bottle and if you get whey protein, get Designer Whey... it doesn't taste bad... it's actually pretty decent! I know how you feel about just wanting the surgery to be done and over with... you are so ready to start your new life and it is soooo hard to wait!! But it will be here and gone before you know it! Keep me posted... if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask!
