My Very First Blog Entry Pre Op
Jun 22, 2014
Well this has been a long time coming for me. I know I am like so many people here and have tried EVERYTHING out there to lose weight. I am actually a professional at losing weight..I just can't keep it off. I have lost 100's of pounds and they come back every time with their friends, close and extended family along with it. Now that I am just over 40, have tortured my metabolism with this yo-yo and now face serious health issues..it is time to finally do the surgery. I do not take it lightly at all. My surgery date for my RNY has been set for July 7th. One week from today 06/23 I start my 1 week Pre-Op diet. Yesterday we (my mother and I) ordered protein shakes for this stage. I figured now is a good time to try some to see what I might like later. We have some samples from Unjury (I don't know if there are rules about mentioning these things) that were given at a seminar and ordered their "sample" package (plus a tub of their Chocolate Splendor). We also ordered the same packages from Chike and About Time. I ordered all the chewable vitamins that will be introduced later from Celebrate vitamins..they have a customer loyalty program and I liked that:
Calcium PLUS 500 Package (3 flavor) - 90 Day
Multi-Complete (Forest Berry) - 90 Day
Iron+C 30 mg Chewable (Grape) - 90 Day
B-12 Sublingual Quick-melt (Cherry) - 90 Day
We also ordered this sample packet they offer and got Backmax wedge system for when I get home. We are just trying to be as prepared as possible. I usually take care of my two elderly parents. They are taking the time to help me get through this. I am not going to lie..I had some panic and anxiety set in Saturday 06/21 but I am sure that is normal. Just taking each day at a time.
