Karen-Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! Pretty soon you will be a loser! My thoughts will be with you as you open this new chapter in your life! Grace
Karen, I ordered Real Meals, and they can be mixed with water or milk. (I mix them half 'n' half.) They're tasty and LOADED with protein. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more info, okay? Good luck. :)
Congratulations on your surgery! The next year is going to be the most amazing of your life. I just want to let you know that here in the beginning is the toughest part. You will feel better than normal soon! These first few weeks and the surgery will only be a memory and you will be on to your new life. I am 10 months post op and I have lost 130 pounds. I went from a size 24 to a 4 in a little over 6 months. Miracles do and will happen for you. I have tried to keep a profile that can be used as a resource. That answers all of the questions that I had when I was in your shoes. And links to various places to do more of your own research. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to that understands please feel free to email me. Here is a link to my profile. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=A1008255446&NoStatic=1

I feel bad for how you are feeling, but it does get better. The reddish fluid is normal and my doctor said as long as it is lessening it is fine.
I am 6 weeks post op and down 40 pounds. I had lap surgery not open but it keep up your spirts
