yasminsnewjourney 52 Posted May 8, 2013 All my Protein Shakes are made with Water. I'm not fond of chocolate but I got the vanilla' date=' Cappuccino, strawberry, wildberry and a few others. I think after the surgery I will be more creative and use the Unjury for a base and use the dry Peanut Butter high in Protein that they have. I got a lot of great ideas on Pinterest. You should check it out. Surgery date: May 14, 2013[/quote'] Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VTMnkyGrl 4 Posted May 8, 2013 Have been thinking of everyone having surgery! Hoping all goes well I just had an appointment with the cardiologist and he wants a stress test which is fine but its a 2 day test b/c of my weight and i'm am scheduled for surgery on Monday... AHHH... they could only fit me in on Friday after noon, and by doing the days backwards i'm doing part of it now. I hope the dr doesn't want to postpone my surgery! 1 daniele57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shannalee 65 Posted May 8, 2013 Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update....I am doing awesome. Probably drank Water too fast thing morning so I'm sitting in a chair and it feels better. My nurse today had the surgery back in October so it's nice she knows what I need. I'm a bit sore and only took my pain meds once this morning....they gave me that clotting shot and that stung so I took it I do wish everyone who is having surgery today a good and speedy recovery. I can't believe I am here but it feels great. 1 Loco_Fairy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
