I'M APPORVED!!!!!!! OMG I can't believe it!!! It's been a very long process, but it was well worth the wait. I have my pre-op appt on Tues, April 27 and my EDG on May 5. Then I will get my surgery date!!! I'm so emotional right now. I'm all over the place. I just can't believe it's finally here. I can't wait to start my new life!!!

AWESOME!!!! Congratulations~ I know exactly how you feel~ I'm actually one week postop and although the first few days were rough, I'm happy I had the procedure done. I went in for my post op check yesterday and I'm down 12lbs......YIKES! YIPPPPEEEEE!!!! Hang in there, you may feel like you've been hit by a truck the first few days but it will all be worth it. Make sure you drink all the gatorade and broth you can the first week! Sooooo very important.

You're welcome New_Journey! :biggrin: Congratulations on taking such a brave step!!! Again, liquids, liquids, liquids!!! When you start Protein Shakes I found soy Protein worked better for me than whey protein....not sure why. My favorite shake now is made out of EAS chocolate soy Protein Powder with vanilla soy milk and a teaspoon of creamy peanut butter....whip it all together with ice in the blender...YUM YUM YUM!!!!! It tasted like manna from Heaven when I could move from Clear Liquids to smoothies/shakes.

Also, make sure you take your vitamins~ I am not a Vitamin person so I've always taken 2 Flintstone chewables:tongue: I know you'll do great! Once again, Congrats!!!!
