My New Life

Horsegirl · February 4, 2008

Hey Turler, Like you I am scheduled in April. April 7th. I started this process in September. Seen the Dr. in December. Had the necessary follow-up appointments in January, and was called last week with my surgery date.

It has been a long process. I figure what I will do is start preparing before my surgery date so that this will not be such a total shock to my system.

Already I have quite drinking sodas, I was drinking at least a 6 pack every day if not more. That took about a week and a half to get over.

And now I am trying different Protein drinks. Have not found any that I like yet. I totally gag. I am a little worried about having to consume 60 to 70 grams of Protein for the first two weeks, when you can only get it in liquid form. NASTY. Special K has protein Water that is not bad but it is only 5 g per bottle. I know I will have to straighten up and just down some. I have found that I can mix a little of the boost with some chocolate milk, but know I have to watch the calories.

I have also decided why wait till April to start loosing. So I want to get moving on the exercise. Have not done that yet. Go figure. But am going to push myself.

I wish you best of luck with your surgery. Keep us up to date on your progess.

Hi Horsegirl!

I'm glad to meet someone with a date close to mine! I am so excited! I need to get on with trying the drinks too. Let me know which ones are good! I don't like them either...so far I like Carnation Instant Breakfast, but I think it has too much sugar in it. I have Myoplex powder at home, but I don't like it mixed with Water. Yuck!

Nice to meet you!
