Newbie here

I am new to this site. My RNY is scheduled for June 28th and I have kind of been obsessing lately. Scouring the web for articles and success stories---it is how I manage my nerves. It is nice to finally find a user friendly and active site for support and help. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

I'm 36 yrs old and a mother of three. (Ages 7, 9, and 15) I've been heavy all my life except for about 6 years through most of high school and part of college when I was running track and very involved in gymnastics. Those days are over now.

Weight loss is my ultimate goal but I also suffer from sever acid reflux. The doctors assure me that the RNY will cure or at the very least greatly improve the condition. To me that is as much of a motivator as the mirror has ever been.

At the moment I am trying out different Protein shake recipes and dieting to prep for surgery. Anybody else doing this?

I have been doing this since January. prepping, collectiong bowls and Protein and Vitamins and baby sppons and forks, 2 ounce and 4 ounce cups and bowls for pre making Jello and Soup the day before my surgery which inst until Oct. It hurts my pocketbook pess if i get things a little each week instead of right before or right after surgery.

Yeah, I did the same thing, bought stuff a little at the time. Had a hard time keeping the kids away from the pre packaged Protein Shakes. For some reason they love those things.

My sixteen year old loved the eas advantage vanilla shakes...we'd sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamo and add a little extra vanilla extract. Very close to egg nog

That sounds yummy!! I'm gonna have to try that when I get home. Minus the extract. Too much booze in it. Lol.
