Protein, Protein, Protein... what to do?

Thanks everybody! I LOVE beign able to tap into you all for advice. Julie, what is the brand of protein you get from Walmart? Carol, my hubby and I are going to be up that way tomorrow so I may stop in to check out the Isopure, too. Should I ask for Gayle if you are not there? I have been sick the past few days with my bladder recovery, of lack-thereof, from my hysterectomy/bladder sling 7 1/2 weeks ago, so on the one hand it is keeping my mind off of the WLS, but on the other hand, I am not feeling well enough to get myself properly ready for this. Hopefully I will feel much better tomorrow when my hubby, Al, and I go out so that I can get all I need. Never wait until the last minute because something might happen and you can't do it. Well, I am less than 48 hours out, so I am going to re-read all of my literature and make my lists for last-minute needs. Talk to you tomorrow night before I kiss my old life goodbye! Christine

It is called Body Fortress, Vanilla Flavor. I know they have chocolate also. I like it. I hope you are feeling better. Oh do not forget chap stick on that list of things you need to get! You will not be sorry. Let Al know I will check in on Friday. You will do great! You are in the best hands! Hugs!!! Julie

Hey Julie, I am not doing very well, actually getting worse. Thought I'd need to go to the ER again, but I called the doctor and he said to try to hold out until the morning and then I need to be there first thing. He is afraid that my bladder is not functioning properly again. I can't see how that could be since I am peeing like every half hour! However, he is concerned about the increasing pain and the urgency incontinence (this was supposed to eliminate the problem, not bring it on), so I need to get this checked out and pray to God that it does not affect my surgery on Friday. The good side to this is that he has privileges at MUSC, so if there is an issue with my bladder, and somthing needs to be done about the sling, perhaps he can take care of it at the same time. I'll let you know how I make out in the morning. I just took a sleeping pill to try to get some rest and so I am off to bed. Hugs! Christine
