Date is set!!!!!! Questions comments help

The date is set im one step closer. 5/11/11 is the day I have my surgery and I start the preop shake diet the 27th. Thank you everyone for listening to my rants and raves! The time is finally here I'm so excited! I've seen everyone post about list of things to take to the hospital and taking before pictures but is there anything else you wish you would have done pre op? Any Protein shakes you have tried and really liked? I've bought bariatric advantage shakes and they are ok. I've also been taking the celebrate vitamins and the calcet calcium chewy bites. I'm also trying to decide if I should go to work while I'm on my shake diet... that might be pretty hard! Any thoughts or helpful hints are welcome! Thanks again!

I see you are a Houstonian as well.  I'm having mine on 4/25 at Methodist in the med center.
