Ahhhhh I have knots in my stomach. Surgery is in 6 days. I've been on an emotional roller coaster today. Sunday I'm starting my liquid diet.

Well tonight's Soup was a hit, not only for me but the family who scarfed down my bowl sampling it and I had to make them all some.

Was essentially what I have done before. but added some spice and kick to it and the celery really added a nice flavor

Shrimp & Celery Cream of Soup

4 Shrimp, 1/2 stalk chopped up celery

brown in pan with olive oil spray

Chili pepper or chilli pod pepper 1/2 tsp

add couple tablespoons flour mixing to make rue

add chicken granules 1 tsp and 1/2- 1 cup of Water

let it thicken as much as possible. then add 1 cup skim milk and pepper

Put in blender and puree.

hurry and eat before family taste or double recipe for each person

This will be one I make a lot when able have full liquids it is around 200 calories, 29 carbs, 14 protien

Found out today I'll be giving myself daily injections (3) of Leptin for 2 weeks. Luckily this doesn't phase me' date=' just wondering of anyone else's surgeon is having them do this? Apparently mine does for all his patients, it prevents blood clots.[/quote']

I am going to have to do the shots too. I don't think it will be that bad (hopefully). I'm going to make my husband give them to me.

I have to stop my blood thinner a week before surgery.

I had to stop my birth control a month before and can't take it for a month after to help prevent blood clots. Sorry hubby but I am not getting pregnant and messing up this surgery.

Yes its a shot of something to help thin your blood to prevent blood clots.

McZoo, they took me off my blood thinner (NSAID) 2 weeks before and my PCP told me to quit even sooner. I don't really understand the blood thinner shots since we are not immobile at all. I am not a medical person though. Seems like lots of people have to do them.

ICandothis...I was just pointing out that our time is almost here!! Whoo-Hoo!!! 6 days for me 5 till we leave for TX
