Well, had final Dr appt today for surgery on July 17th. I love my surgeon and his team...always willing to answer ANY question no matter how crazy it is. Being a nurse sometimes I go into nurse brain and come up some wild ones..haha

Anyway, I am all ready for the 17th @ 7:30am to be the day my life changes and I take control of who I want to be not who I have settled to be for the past 20 yrs. Someone that is strong, that my children can be proud of and learn to love and accept myself again. I think sometimes we fall into the idea of what others see us as and forget who we want to be.

So bring on my new life with all of the challenges that comes with because I am READY! Here is a cheer for all of us that are strong enough to take this leap!!!!

I wasn't required to do a pre-op diet. Just 24hrs of liquids day before. If you want to be surgery buddies..please send me a personal message. The more people in your support system the better ;-)

Are you getting nervous at all?

Not as nervous as I thought as I thought I would be, you?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
