i know what you mean about missing eating...i still have to cook for my husband and son..man it's hard to serve them their food and me pouring my shake but when i look at the scale it makes it worth it. i'm glad you don't have to go back to work right away!!

I've been reading tons and tons of blogs..i dont' believe i've read any that mention having to have blood thinning injections after surgery. When I went to my preop today they told me for one week after the surgery I'd have to inject myself with blood thinners. Anyone else have to do this?:thumbup::cool2::laugh:

Well today is day two on my liquid diet...I'm having a lil trouble drinking the shakes without gagging! I am also not liking the 80oz of water i need to drink a day..i feel like i'm going to drown! :cool2: but i'm gonna keep on keeping on! It'll all be worth it! anyway..went for my PreOp today..everything was fantastic! I'm so excited. good luck to all who are having surgery tomorrow!! :thumbup:

Qtney...maybe that is what my problem is..it's too thick. lol I bought vanilla so that way i could add strawberries and banana. i'm making tea now..i hope i can get all the water in that way Copa...wow..you'v dropped 4lbs already? i haven't dropped any!

Love it! that is how i need to start thinking...

well today is day 2 of the protein shakes..thank goodness i can have salads and veggies. i think i'm starting to have caffeine withdraws..my head is starting to hurt!

Hey qtney..thank goodness i can add salads/veggies/jello. that is awesome that you can have the meals at dinner.

hey Chriper...you are doing great! wow..my doc said i could have all that stuff in addition to the protein shakes. I guess by actually 'chewing' something is going to help me mentally. It's been hard today...but with God's help i am going to make this work! copa...you CAN do it! I'm sorry to hear about your kidney infection...hope that clears up asap! looking forward to following your progress..i have mine on the 29th!
