Hello from a new member ...

[Guest guest]

Actually Lori Anne, I just gave them up because I couldn't stand the

taste if they were halved. I have just stuck to water for now. Gave up

my diet vanilla coke too. I guess I'll try other things some day but

right now, it is easier for me to stick with the diet this way because

I'm too tempted to do other things. I drink about a gallon of water a

day anyway so I don't really get thirsty for other stuff. Thanks for the

tip though! :-)

Are you anxious for your big day?

Hey are you cutting the Juice and Gatorade with half water?

Remember

all Juices must be 50% juice and 50% water to make them more tolerable.

Hi

If the water is working for you, that is TERRIFIC Definately the

healthiest thing to do But if you ever do get the urge for

Gatorade, you might want to try Propel which is made by Gatorade but

is sweetened with Splenda. There are very few calories in it and a

little carbs.

Hoping this helps

Hi, Lori Anne!

Wow, thanks for the wonderful compliments. That's so sweet of you to say. I've

been through many hard times in my past (even in my short 26 years) and I find

it's better to chin up and get over things than to dwell in misery. Onward ho!

~smiles~

My first day back was the toughest. I was really tired and worn out when I got

home. Went straight to bed. It's gotten easier since then.

It's really amazing ... but you will. ~laughs~ It's hard to believe how little

you'll eat until you are there.

Anytime, Lori Anne! My email's always open!

Re: Hello from a new member ...

Hi

You are so wonderful and a really good role model. WOW only one week off

sheesh you are a dynamo too. I have an office sit down type of job too so I

will

see how I feel after a week. I would really like to go to Disney this

December so maybe I can conserve that week LOL. But then again you are an

extraordinary person as far as recovery goes. I really don't want to throw up

or feel

nauseous or any of that. I pretty much right now have a cast iron tummy can

eat anything basically so I hope that still holds true after surgery. Right

now I can't even imagine being full on 4 oz of food LOL but soon think of the

money I will save on food while on vacation LOL. My daughter and I can split

plates all the time hahaha because after 2-3 tablespoons I will be DONE stick

a

fork in me LOL.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me a lowly pre-op LOL I'm not

worthy hehe

Take Care and stay so upbeat

Hi, !

It's good to see someone from this area. :-) Who is your doctor? Mine is

Dr. Lavin (with Surgical Specialist). I love their group.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you get approval soon.

Re: Hello from a new member ...

I really like their group. They've been supportive and friendly from the

beginning.
