Dates are on the calendar!!!

Jan 23, 2019

I saw Dr. Weiss yesterday for my consultation with him, and I'm set for surgery in 2 weeks! 

A group of us future-sleevers spent the day together learning about the pre-op diet and the surgery process, and all of us set our dates before we left the office. It was good to be with others on the same journey as me. And it felt good to be affirmed in my decision.

Jason and I talked last night and he's fully on board with me. He'll be looking for protein drinks to buy for me for the 2-week pre-op diet (high protein, low carb) and for the 1-day all liquid diet the day before surgery. I also ordered some unflavored protein powder and some Premier shakes to help me get the 100 grams of protein I'll need to get ready for surgery and to heal afterward.

So I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me. I have lists to make and things to plan. I've read lots of posts about items to take to the hospital with me, so I need to pull those ideas together and make sure I have everything I'll need. I also want to make sure I have plenty of drinks on hand after I get home so I won't have to send Jason out to get anything. 

February 15 will be here before I know it! And I'll be on my way to better health and greater mobility!
