VSG on 10/15/13

I'm really happy, and a little nervous. I've lost 30 lbs since I first initiated this process via portion control, meeting with a dietician, walking with a pedometer (goal 10,000 steps), and taking a Phentermine each day (30 mg).

I'm keeping my nervousness/doubts in check by focusing on the outcome.

I had major bleeding complications after a total hysterectomy that kept me, and put me back in the hospital for extra weeks in the mid 90's, and that keeps surfacing in my mind.

I'm good with my protein bars, drinks, and liquids for now. Need to stock up on my supplements.

I have an appointment schedule with the personal trainer at work, to begin an exercise program with him post-recovery.

I'll be taking three weeks off from work, with an option to telework the third week if I feel up to it.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks to all who've gone before me, and who stay to offer support!
