Hello, I am Wanda, age 55yo, and finally got approval for surgery after 18 months of working with the insurance company.  I  had developed diabetes, high blood pressure, and severe back trouble to the point I coudln't walk very far.  My internist said i was bound for the wheelchair if i didn't try this since we'd tried everything else.  He went toe to toe with the insurance company until he got an approval.  I am into day 4 of the pre-surgery liquid diet.  I never knew i was so addicted to food until now.  Seems I didn't know my self at all. I'm trying to keep my spirits up and trying to learn what i can from those that are going thru it now or has been thru it.  I welcome any suggestions on trying to get that protein powder into something that won't make me gag my guts up. :>) Blessings,Wanda
