Dec 29 is the start of a new me!

I’m super nervous about my surgery now. Still waiting on the ins approval but it looks promising. Surgical consult is 12/12. Liquid diet start 12/16 ?

Any tips? How soon did you start working out?

    Congratulations! Just in time to make that New Years resolution come true for real! You will do fine. Start walking now if you haven't already. I was up and walking for 15-20 minutes about 2 hours after surgery with no pain (other than gas pains). Don't worry about working out right now. Walking is fine. Your doctor might want you to stay away from any serious workouts for 6-8 weeks.

    Before surgery, get any cleaning, laundry, etc. out of the way. You won't feel like doing it for at least the first week after. Also take care of your post-op grocery shopping, stock your fridge with water, g2, propel, vitamin water, etc. so you don't have to worry about that. Get you some chewable vitamins as some can't swallow regular ones for at least the first week or so. Get you some good content to watch on tv. I binge watched several series on Netflix. It was awesome!

    Oh yeah, if you drink any caffeinated drinks, drop them now. You don't want to be going through withdrawals after surgery. The headaches suck big time.

    Anyway, good luck!

    Omg thank you so much for the info. I walking a lot everyday already so I’m good there. I only do coffee and I only drink it when I really need it. So to let that go shouldn’t be a problem. I already started purchasing everything I need after surgery [emoji16]
    How do u feel about the vitamin patches? I was thinking about getting them
