Hello Everyone,

My name is Amy. I'm 24 years old. I'm 5 feet tall and I weigh 250 lbs. I started this journey on January 3rd, thank goodness with my insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield), I didn't have to wait the 6th month period. Yay!!! So I have completed everything and my surgery date is exactly two weeks from today, on April 11! Super excited and nervous because I have never had surgery before. I'm so happy I found this amazing site. I'm trying to get informed as much as I can before surgery so I know exactly what to expect, no surprises. But if anyone has any advice for me it will be greatly appreciated :0)

Thank you Everyone!!!!!

Shop for liquids before surgery because it will keep you on track after surgery. Buy different protein shakes and drinks also. I hate the sugar stuff after surgery. I took tea I liked to the hospital because they give you stuff you might not like. I am only 28 days out. I like my cup that keeps my water cold for a long time it goes from room to room with me. Worry most about fuilds, protein shortage will not put you back in the hospital as fast as not drinking. LISTEN to you stomach. Good luck.
