Beautiful!!!

Thank you! Great suggestions!

I'm curious to know what everyone has done to prepare for after the surgery. I think I'm a bit of an over-planner & want to get everyone else's ideas too. So far I have the following: All of my necessary Vitamins A set of Bariatric Utensils (from hubby for Xmas) A set of Appetizer forks & spoons for smaller bite sizes (Adorable!) Protein powders (Inspire- Whey protein, Variety flavors) & PB2 Light Muscle Milk and Premium Protein ready drinks Large Water Bottles (not new, but hold 24 oz) Broths Here is my wish list of other things: A fine mesh strainer nonfat milk dry powder (to add to some of my drinks for additional protein) cute 4 oz glasses, (plastic or glass) to help get some liquid meals down & 1 oz cups (like medicine ones) to measure intake. What have you done to prepare for your new life???

I had my pre-op appt. & things are all a go!!! I think I was afraid that I had not lost enough weight or my congestion would be a problem, but my surgeon was super supportive & positive. I only have to do an 8 hour fast, but I'm thinking of a 3-day fast before. She said that the more my stomach is empty, the easier it will be and I'll feel better. I did a 2 day modified fast before my pre-op & it made me feel less nervous about fasting and gave me confidence that it was doable. I feel so much better about the experience & am getting my stuff ready for afterward. Pre-op 12/24 Surgery 1/7 Dr. Chu @ Kaiser Fremont, CA

I’m so sorry it was so rough! My primary did not support it either, then she went on leave. After finding out I’d have to wait another 6 months for her to approve, I switched my primary doc & was immediately approved. Congratulations & Good Luck!

I forgot to say that I am having the sleeve.

My pre-op is tomorrow, 12/24- Christmas Eve! Surgeon is Dr.Chu at Kaiser Fremont, CA. My surgery will be 1/7 & I’m so psyched! I have my vitamins, muscle milk, broths & am ready! I’m afraid of the first 1-2 weeks because I hear they are a bit difficult. Fingers crossed!!!!

You look gorgeous & I especially love those shoes!
