Hi folks just a little update on how my progress is going, I saw the surgeon ( Dr Hagen) last week and picked up my optifast. My appointment was very brief, he weighed me again and took some notes and asked me how I was feeling and if I still want to and if I'm ready to do this. Of course I responded yes 
he sent me on my way and told me his secretary will take care of everything else that I need. His secretary Ella was super nice and helpful gave me my pre-op package optifast and my sick leave note for work. She told me that the hospital will be contacting me with my appointment with the anesthesiologist and pre-op which is about a 4 hour appointment.
Oh yeah and my surgery is booked for Friday March 15th!!

Good morning everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend. It was miserable weather here, and still is. Not much on the go today, I'm staying home to avoid the slippery roads.
QOTD: Were you in any sports in highschool? I was on the gymnastics team. If I tried to do a front walkover now I think I would throw out my back and break a hip.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee
S. Protein coffee shake
L. Big bowl of cabbage roll soup (no rice)

Hi Elizabeth! Just checking in on you. I knowkyour surgery was a day after mine. How are you feeling? Hope it went great and you are recuperating. Hugs. 
Thank you for the tips darling!
I appreciate it! I did that yesterday, just focused on the protein shakes and soup. I feel much better! 
I made decaf Starbucks instant coffee. It was delicious to me.
Good luck.
Absolutely go to the states they are way cheaper there. At samscub they are about 16$ a case of 12. The strawberries and cream is awesome. The only downside to sams club is they are sold out of a lot of flavours on a regular basis. Good luck.
Have you heard of anyone going to the states to get some? I'm intrigued by their flavours. Cookies and cream,peaches and cream, strawberry and cream.
Congratulations!
Yeah, it's a struggle in the beginning but it gets better.
I'd just work at getting your fluids in and drinking protein shakes and some soup. That's what I did. I couldn't tolerate oatmeal in the early goings but you will eventually.
Sip walk, toot, sip, walk, toot - that's your job for the next few days. :)
