Hi all.....

I want to take this time to thank everyone for thinking of me and for sending me well-wishes.  Today is the 1st day I have been back on my computer, and it meant so much to me to see everyone's comments.  Once again...thank you everyone. 

Each day I feel better and better.  I began my protein on Friday, but I have been unable to meet my 70-90 gram requirement.  Hopefully I will have more success today.  

 

Tomorrow is my day.  The liquid diet was very easy for me.  I finally acquired a taste for the protein shakes.

I asked my surgeon about pouch size and RNY length.  And as I learned on this site and others, many doctors do adjust the sizes.  My surgeon does as well according to BMI.  I am a little concerned about this (mine will be larger and longer), but I trust him implicitly.  The size adjustment  makes sense. 

I appreciate everyone who took time to write and comment on my photos, blogs, and discussion topics.  The information gained from this site has been invaluable.  I have learned so much and am so thankful I finally took time to join.

The next time I post I will be sitting on the loser's bench!

I completed my pre-ops and my class yesterday - six more days until surgery.  I am still searching for a protein drink I can tolerate. 

Today is day four. 

Yesterday I had my endoscopy.  I have a hernia, unbeknownst to me.  It will be fixed when I have surgery.  I am still trying to find a protein I like.  So far, Jay Robb egg white is the one I think I can adjust to.

I think I am ready.  I have purchased several different types of protein in order to find what will be my favorite.  I'm ready.
