Is that postop? WOW that's a lot, I'd be afraid I'd get an intestinal obstruction.
Topic: RE: puree question??
my doc allows the mashed potatoes at this point because we are aiming for 500 cal a day (won't get that on the current stage). I have some tuna with mustard for one meal, mashed potatoes with Unflavored Unjury protein, pintos n cheese with FIRE sauce, and for my evening meal usually too full, but I try to have some yogurt or some Baba Ganouj with saltines.
For protein shakes I use EAS Advant Edge Carb Control Chocolate - 24 drinks in a case, sold at SAMS club, $28/case. One drink a day is 15g protein, 100 cal.

I know exactly how you feel about trying to concentrate on work. I have the rest of this week and 3 days next week. My surgery is a week from today at 7:30 am also. Lord, I'm glad they put us back 'to sleep' to do the surgery!
I"m sure everything will be great for you and I am sending up prayers and great thoughts your way for a speedy recovery and an awesome experience as a BIG LOSER!
Peace and blessings!

hello...... Necole im not from mi. either. im from indiana. my mom used this doc and was very happy with him. where i live we have many places that have docs that do the surgery im having. i guess after two years ive done my homework. I did all my pre-testing yesturday. im going to BARIX CLINCS in YPSILANTI MI. Im going to do it all there. the surgery/plastic surgery. Im now dealing with the nerves. Cleaning like crazy, buying stuff from the store, and making lists. My hubby is scared but supportive. i have older children who have mixed feelings. i understand how everyone is feeling , but i feel this is some thing i have to do for myself. i feel like ive lived my whole life for everyone else, now its my turn !!!!!!! keep in touch too!

Hello everyone!!!
I haven't been on much lately because I'm trying NOT to think about surgery as I find it consumes me and I have had MUCH to do this past week. I just wanted to write in though and announce my big day! Anyone else have surgery tomorrow? I am scheduled to go in at 7:30 and need to be there at 5:30. I have to work today and am struggling staying focused. I have so much to do to get ready and do not know how I am going to get it all in! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone that has had their surgeries this month already is doing REALLY well!!!! Please say a prayer for me tomorrow!!!
Rita
