Elfie wanted to check in and see how you are doing.  Glad you liked your protein samples and that you enjoy them post-op.  I didn't bother trying any pre-op as I hear that things change after surgery.  The mochachinno and the cappachino's I mixed with Lactaid as they just taste better that way to me.  The lemonade I mixed with crystal light and the fruit punch I mixed with sugarfree kool aid.  Just what I did.  You will see what works for you.  How are you feeling?  Are you getting excited about your surgery? 
I can't wait.  Hope you are having a great day!

Elfie,

I didn't want to try them until post-op for the same reasons you said.  Thanks for the helpful hints too.

I am feeling fine, with the parties over and I made it through work today.  Tomorrow another school board meeting that should be an ugly one.  It will be the last one I will attend because I will be post-op when the next one happens in Jan.  So I am focusing on my surgery and not on the job because I can only do the best job I know how and we'll let the chips fall where they may.   

I am nervously excited about surgery.  I called UCSF today to make sure that everything is A-ok but didn't get a call back yet.  I want to make sure the authorization has been given and that we're good to go.  Years ago I did medical biling and I know how things can unravel last minute, so just double checking them.

Hope you had a good weekend too.

Thanks for being a good Elfie!
