I HAVE A DATE!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

Hi all !!!!! I have a date!!! NOVEMBER 7TH! Then I will be loser!!!! I called everyone that has been praying for me today. Oh my goodness! Seven more weeks! Five more weeks until I start my liquid diet! I may not be so exicited to start that five weeks from now, but holy wah am I excited right now! I do have another question though.......what is the best tasting protein drink? thank you all of you who have replied to my posts and to all of the information everyone gives to this messege board. It is a sea of information and support! Love to you ALL! Lori

Congratulations Lori! I'm sure the seven weeks will fly by for you! Pam

hi Lori congrats on the date soon you will be a looser like the rest of us im 2 weeks post opp and the best protein drink i found and ive tried a lot of them is called optisource the caramel flavor is real good it has 12 grams of protein , wish you the best ...huggggs ..Ed

Hi Lori, Congratulations!!!! If I remember correctly we have the same surgeon... That is if you still have Dr. Saber? He is awesome and you will do wonderful! I thought the 2 week liquid diet would be horrible but it really wasn't that bad at all. I only used Carnation Instant Breakfast and it kept me full.... Thank God.... Although I am 4 months out now and can't touch that stuff. YUCK!!!! I get my protein in now through food. Anyways, best of luck to ya and if you have any questions about the process with Dr. Saber let me know. God Bless! Kathy

Congratulations Lori!!! It's so nice to finally have that "date"!! Won't be long now! Best of luck! Theresa

I know what you mean about not being excited to start the liquid diet, mine starts Oct 11 but I know that the days will just sail by then. I too would like to know about the protien drinks. Ann

Yeah!!!! Congrats Lori!!! You will be on the losers bench before you know it. Shawn McGeachy

CONGRATS ON THE DATE!!! DOING THE HAPPY WITH YOU!!!! I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY INTO BECOMING A NEW YOU!!! HUGS JUDY

Hi lori, Congratulations on the date, I KNOW how excited you are because I just went thru that. I'm 8 days post op and am still on a full liquid diet. I asked around about the protein too and got a lot of responses saying that Walmart has a good protein powder, so I tried it, and it really isn't that bad. It's called "Body Fortress" and it's 100% Whey Protein, has 23 grams of Protein per scoop with only 1 gr of sugar and the best part is that it's only $11.97 for a huge tub of it. They have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and I believe an unflavored version in case you want to mix it in with your yogurt/pudding. Best of luck to you and I lost 10 pounds this past 8 days!! This surgery is the answer to fat people's prayers everywhere!! (smile) Hope you have a great day!!
