Any suggestions or ideas?

I’m one of those people who like order, I know I want to document my journey I just want some ideas. Rn I have a pre surgery binder with everything that I’ve been through so far but I’m looking for ideas for after the surgery. This is some stuff I have so far.

Very pretty and it looks like you will be the Queen of Documentation! My hat's off to you!

Some suggestions:

Just for reference, I just went back and looked at my food journal. It isn't unusual for me to have 9-10 food lines per day. This does not include any liquids.

If I also needed a line to include liquids that have protein, I'd have about 3-4 more lines. I don't know if you've scanned pages or if this is a template that is adjustable, but I just wanted to let you know.

Mostly on top of that I have copies of postings I found especially useful in my journey. Thicks I thought might be able to utilize as times go on. My current program gave me pamphlets which,i have in a folder from Wal-Mart, Preparing for Surgery,Now that your Surgery is Scheduled, Life after Bariatric Surgery and I think,there is one more to come
Happy Recovery-Happy Life, probably,will you have reached your weight goal and are transitioning,into Maintainance for,the remainder of your life The first 3 are so fat i,will probably need. to start a separate folder for the last one.
I'm sure there are support groups also for post-surgery patients. If they think I will be attending they are deluding, themselves. They seem to have them scheduled in the evening, I live 50 miles see,iwhich means 100 miles round trip, I no longer drive and there is not another soul in my county I can carpool with. Sure I would pay half or the gas but there is just NOBODY!
At any,rate my surgery will be September 5th in Columbus Ohio.

Kudos to your creativity. It's very elegant!

I'm glad this is what you wanted. I was afraid I might come across as critical.
