Hi suecasb and everyone,

My doctor is Adam Smith in Fort Worth, TX. I have started the high Protein diet and have been pretty happy with it. Have lost 16 pounds. Getting nervous. Monday (3/10/08) I go to the hospital for lab, X-ray and EKG. Had surgery last year and my EKG came out bad and had to go a carido doctor. before they would operate. All checked ok. Just thinking to much I guess.

Hope all of you are doing well and keeping your spirits up!

Hi, All! My surgeon is Dr. Ann Rogers at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Hershey PA (where I'm also employed - secretary to chief of cardiology). I started my Liquid Protein fast yesterday - think this will be a long week. :-) Hopefully being at work will make it go fast. My strategy last night was to go to bed so I wouldn't have to think of eating.

I have my pre-op appointment this afternoon. Had to stop all liquids as of 1 am this morning. Could really use a cup of coffee this morning! Getting excited and scared at the same time. Reading about Fenton and the others have helped calm the nerves a bit. I just need to take things one step at a time.

Went shopping this weekend to get my Protein drinks ready for next week. DH had been very supportive.

Hang in there gages62 (Rachel) it will all be worth it.
