So I took the challenge, what I like about GNC is they have more variety. I was finding the PP vanilla was gross and the Choco was to thick. I loved it pre surgery, post not so much.

So far I have had Strawberry and Banana and GNC wins hands do

Last week at this time I was waking up in the recovery room being asked "whats my pain level at" in which I replied 8.

I spent most of last Tuesday in a Morphine induced nap, it was kind of nice albeit painful when the drugs wore off. I got up

It's always given as advice. I tried it, it didn't work. Walking is not easy when in pain and pain drugs make it hard to walk. I just want to sleep.

I'm home and alive and walking as much as I can but sleep is nice and doesn't hurt.

How long was your catheter in? Or did you even have one? I was told They would put one in during surgery and take it out once I start walking but I'm reading that maybe they keep it in longer to measure your output?

Also I've got my period, yay

Surgery on Tuesday!! Have to be at the hospital at 6am for an 8am start. No water after midnight. Can I chew gum? I'll be up at 4am and out the door at 5am and, well, I'll be thirsty. Can I moisten my mouth some way? I'm the kind of person when I get t

My info sheet doesn't mention if the blood work is fasting does anyone know? Can I have my morning shake or wait till I'm done?

No hunger pains today! It was a rough 3 days coming into this 4th day let me tell you.

I was wondering something, I took a walk yesterday to take my mind off the hunger and was a little lightheaded I'm assuming from the lack of calories. I now

I'm 3 shakes in. First was breakfast @ 7:15am straight chocolate nothing added, not to bad. Lunch @11:30am was a chocolate shake with a SF raspberry shot, pretty yummy. Started feeling hunger at around 2pm. Last break at 2:15 made some chicken broth (s

Yesterday I made a big change. I cut off my dreadlocks after 16 years. This might not have anything to do with WLS but for me it has to do with the whole pkg. Washing dreadlocks is a pain and not only that it takes at least 24 hours to dry completely.

I noticed when doing my research that a lot of people who go to Mexico are given a DVD of their surgery. Was wondering if it's an option in Ontario.

I meet with my surgeon on Friday and plan to ask him but wondered if anyone had gotten one. I'm
