I know right? lol

I stocked up on Vitamins yesterday and started stocking up on Protein Drinks. I got work lined out and just have one more appt with my surgeon and then surgery. Thank goodness I don't have to do the 2 week liquid diet. They just require a very low carb diet. That I can do!

Are you having sleeve or bypass?

I hope I don't sound pathetic and I'm not sure how to phrase this. Yeah, me, the word- vomiting know-it-all of the western world, the person who has something to say, even when it's not her thread.
With my new program at Ohio State, I love it and I love all the people associated,with it.
A few years ago there was an easy-listening song, the refrain the singer kept singing in the background " and I love her so' no. matter where the music went in it, you heard the gentle refrain.
OK no matter what stage I'm going through, what new member I meet, what different member of my future surgical team I encounter , and it's all been good a little inner refrain sings in my head " and they still want me" , See in the other ill-fitting program I NEVER got that, I could have walked out their door, tried to cross the nearby interstate on foot, been killed, and they would not have shed tear one, I just didn't matter that much to them.
This new program, no matter what challenges they present me, and some of them will not be a chinch to implement, there is an inate caring about me and my future, this is in spring and I find I like it very much. So my little refrain" and they still want me" is one of the sweetest much heavenly songs I have ever heard. And I am filled with wonderment and joy at it all.

The error word in the above posting should read" inspiring" because it is, to finally find such a bariatric home in this desert of disregard I in the past have encountered.

Same here! I'm so so glad I dont have to do a 2 week liquid diet, only 2 days. I'm doing my pre-ops this coming week and then surgery! ahhhhhh!!!! Auntie Anxiety should be knocking on my door anytime now. What Vitamins and drinks did you stock up on? I need to do that too.

My dr required me to get a multi Vitamin, Calcium, Vitamin D, and Iron, all which I got a Wal-Mart. I also got the Wal-Mart brand of the Premier Protein drinks. I really like them. They are thicker than the Premier Protein and I seem to stay fuller on them and to me they taste better. I just bought a 12 pack for 14.97. Cheaper than the Premier also. There are different flavors. I like them all.

I also made some Bone Broth. I used the chicken bones left over from the chicken I used to make some chicken salad and it taste pretty good also. I am gonna freeze it in some ice trays them put them in freezer bags for when I need them. I also bought some unflavored protein to add to that. Not sure how that will taste, I haven't tried it yet. Fingers crossed. lol

Update: I was finally sleeved this Monday and boy was I in for a rude awakening. Literally. I woke up after surgery in soooo much pain! Both from the abdomen area and gas pains. Morphine and Water made me very nauseous but I feel better now. I got home yesterday and I'm doing ok. Still sore and gas pains aren't too too bad. I haven't been able to burp or fart like others. anyone else have that problem? Also my hospital didn't let me to take gasX while I was there.
