October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves

[tbnote71 13]

Well, I went to my first in person support group last night! It is led by the clinical nurse specialist from my surgeons office. I was so inspiring to see the people who have lost all ready and the people who will be having surgery around the same time. My highlight of the night was when I talked to the nurse, and she told me that my 10/24 date was a "dummy date". She said they use a specific date to turn in to insurance, but my surgeons schedule is about 2 weeks ahead of that. I will find out for sure Tuesday. So excited now. Glad that I will still be an October sleever with all of you still. You all are a great help. I am so glad for each and every one of you.. Best wishes for you ALL!

I am so excited about the surgery! I went to Cosco this weekend and purchased Protein Powder, greek yogurt and Vitamins. I picked up some Cytosport whey Protein powder (vanilla) that has 27 grams of protein and only 3 grams of carbs and 140 total calories. It was alittle pricey but it was really delicious!! I am not a big fan of this greek yogurt by itself so I will have to mix it with other products.

I went to my local Market Street grocery store and purchased the PB2 powder and PB Thins! It made me fall in love with Peanut Butter all over again.

Has anyone else been shopping and purchasing preop/post op goodies yet?

Is anyone using chia seed in there preop shakes?

Lol I have been shopping for two weeks for post op! What to get, how much, etc. I also don't like Greek yogurt but just yesterday found one that is really good. It's new I think. Dannon Lite and Fit Greek. 12g protein and it's low carb and sugar.....

I am on prevpak, I just didn't get why they don't do blood work earlier than that. I postpone my date twice.

I had the generic equivilent of prevpac because the brand name was over 300 dollars with excellent insurance. The generic cost me less than 20 bucks!
