Yeesh!! That would be nerve-wracking but you got this! Do you like to exercise? I don't love it but don't mind swimming. I will be hitting the pool every night after work. That, cutting out carbs, sugar and diet soda should do the trick. When's the date??

I've only tried the chocolate.

What Vitamins did you get?

9/28/17 is the date. I hate exercising besides swimming because I wear out before it does any good. Swimming is good because it takes that weight pressure off which allows me to do more... I fell down a flight of stairs around Easter and hurt my shoulder. I am still having issues with so that makes swimming hard right now but I am working around it [emoji4]
I ordered samples from Bariatric Advantage... as a Kaiser patient you get a discount. I also am trying samples from Celebrate... they are pretty good and you can get a discount from them too [emoji16]

How are you doing with the meal plan?

I haven't been doing the meal plan but have cut out all flour, sugar and processed food. Need to cut carbonation next and start sipping my liquids and not drinking with meals, chewing 30 times, etc.

Still need to get Vitamins too. I've got 1.5 weeks until I got to Lifestyles and Nutrition and am hoping to meet my goal weight by then which is now 12 pounds. Might not happen and that's okay too.

Where did you order the vitamins? I will look into these asap.

Sorry about your shoulder, the pool should be good for it- just take it nice and slow. You can even get a boogie board and hold onto it and just use your legs until it's all healed.

Your surgery date is so close!!! I'm so excited for you. You'll be going through everything before me, so I hope you will keep me in mind and continue to give me guidance through your journey!
