Lots of protein and supplies today!

So I got my FMLA approved today, there was some concern as it can be labeled as "elective." So it feels really real now, we are go for the 16th (eek!).

Also tried a whole bunch of different Protein Shakes, so far I HATE muscle milk, and everything else (special k, ensure, oxyelite) is okay. The oxyelite is a powder I mixed with lactaid according to the directions and it was WAY to thick, I had to force it down. Next time more liquid. I also got some Greek yogurt and Jello to eat with a spoon--you know to mix it up some. Overall I got about 95 grams of Protein in.

Today I also bought the recommended chewable vitamins, antacids and GasX strips. Any other suggestions for supplies?

My biggest suggestion is not to buy a whole lot of anything while you are preop, many people find there tastes change after the surgery and therefore if you buy a whole lot of something before hand you may be stuck with something you can't stand post op. good Luck, enjoy the journey.
