I also did this a couple weeks ago! I was surprised at what I received. I even emailed Atkins & they sent me a box with protein bars in it & some shakes. 

Who knew! I sure didn't. Glad I could help!!

Surgery Date 2/1/11

I was told 60 - 80g.  I have figured out that I need closer to 100g.  I had never heard to eat your goal weight in protein grams.  I dont know if I could do that.  Just to get to 100, I have to drink 2 protein drinkd a day.

ThisGirlzReady,

Thank you for your message. I'm such a baby when it comes to shots. My friend that told me about them told me that we get three in our stomach a day at the hospital, then we come home with 8-9 shots. Her doctor is different then ours, but I'm still freaked out!! How stupid is that? lol. If you wouldn't mind, I would like to know how your preop tests and nutrition class goes. I'm so curious as to what tests we have to do, and what info they teach us at the class.

And if you can find out anything about the shots, please let me know!!

Be careful on your drive. I hope the storm they are saying we will get, won't be that bad. But, it is Indiana after all, and I should expect anything!! lol
 

I was talking with my friend on Friday about her surgery and she told me we will have to take lovenox shots. Is this true? I don't remember Dr. Evanson talking about this at the first meeting.

My friend mentioned that I might want to ask Dr. E for some sort of numbing cream. (I'm a big baby when it comes to needles!). Does anyone know if this is something Dr. E would even do. Now, I'm scared!! I'm such a big baby!!!
