My surgery is a little over a month away! WOOHOO!!
july 7th cannot come soon enough.
so right now im thinking about vitamins. i am already taking vitamin D  but im going to place an order and get all the vitamins im going to need after surgery. i have these in my cart already... do you see something im missing??

Bariatric Advantage Dry Vitamin D Capsules (60 Count)

Vitamin B12 Sublingual, 1000 mcg (60 Lozenges)

Bariatric Advantage Chewable Iron, 29mg, Passion Fruit (90 Count)

Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate, 400mg (90 Count)

Celebrate Vitamins Multivitamin Chewable, Orange (60 Tablets)

yayyayay!!!
i go in for my Upper GI, Ultrasound and lab work on the 15th. hopefully i can get my psych and nurtitional consult on the same day and get it all banged out at once!!! EEEE SO EXCITED!!

i still have to lose some weight before i go in and see my surgeon again. i have no idea how im going to do it. i feel like i've tried everything and NOTHING works!! i hope the weather is nice tomorrow so i can take the girls on a walk (and snap some photos along the way. photography is my new hobby.) a double stroller with 50 lbs work of kids should provide good resisitance and encourage weight gain, right? i hope so!! 

so i met Dr. Pender. he is actually pretty nice and BLUNT. he told me straight up im too fat for the band (wasn't planning to get it anyway) and explained everything (that i already knew). he explained how the program works and told me i need to lose 6 lbs before my next appointment. i think i can do it. he said if i can do sit ups (HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA) it will help the surgery a lot (i've got mom fat belly) how about i start with walking every day then see how i feel about doing sit ups. ya, i like that plan better.
so diet and exercise before i get surgery and then diet and exercise for the rest of my life!
then i went to do tests. i had a blood gas OMG FUCKING OUCH. i almost barfed after and im not really like that when it comes to needles. they had to lay me down and give me a ice pack for my head and water. lol i felt like such a tool. then i went on to have a EKG and a chest xray and then i drove an hour back home. the trip wasn't that bad.
