I just returned home from having surgery on 03/09/12. I feel suprisingly well. I am a bit sore around the main insicion but overall feel better than expected. I am going to take it easy and enjoy the rest of my spring break. It feels good to be on this side of the surgery!

March 9th, Dr Almanza in TJ!

Thanks for info. I'm going to try Mootopia... I always wanted to anyway since the packaging is cute.

VSG scheduled 03/09/12 with Dr Almanza in TJ Flights and hotels are booked Read books, blogs, multiple diet recommendations for pre-op and post-op eating Starting the kitchen cleanse in stealth mode so daughter doesn't notice an abrupt change in pantry items Healthier meals started for family Making a list of vitamins, supplements and OTC meds to have on hand for post-op needs Food funerals over except Valentine's dinner when I will have wine and large meal/dessert for last ime before pre-op diet begins Smart phone app installed for ease in tracking nutrients, activity, and weight - need to start using during pre-op diet so I can get used to using it Need to deep clean house now so I will not feel urge to do so post-op and hurt myself Much more to do but thrilled to be in action mode instead of state of indecision!

I am excited and eager to get to TJ. I am 4 weeks away from the surgery so I'm starting to prep by cutting out the easiest stuff for me (carbonated drinks and caffeine). I am getting into the habit of seperating liquids from my meals so I am used to it when the time is right. I am also gradually saying goodbye to some fast food favorites. I plan to spend the next couple weeks decreasing carbs and increasing proteins. I am also going to sample some protein drinks now so I can have a better idea of what to have on hand later.

Hello! I am also having surgery with Dr Almanza in TJ. I am scheduled for a VSG on 03/09/12. Need another buddy?
