I received the phone call today, my surgery is on May 22 at 5 am...I cannot wait!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

I am so happy for you! So you have about a month and a few days to get ready. It will be here before you know it. I am in the beginning process. I can't wait for that phone call. I am wondering about something, have you bought things like vitamins, protein stuff, etc? Or have you waited for this call and now you will start stocking up?

Thank you everyone! I am certainly excited!! I told my boss I was having surgery but did not exactly tell him what...figured it really is none of his business...as far as the vitamins and things I need to get ready before surgery, I thought I would wait until next week after my appointment with the nutritionist and dietitian. For all of you still waiting for that phone call...I hope you receive it soon!!!!

Congrats! My nutritionist said that she won't be meeting with me until 6 weeks after surgery. She wrote on the top of my paper that I can expect to have the following after surgery: B12 sublingual, 1200 calcium citrate, ferrous gluconate 30 mg+ vitamin C and a chewable Multivitamin. She said the doc would tell me if anything else was needed. I already am taking Iron & Vitamin D at this time. I wish you the VERY best!!!
