Finally got a surgery date =)

[rylie19805 1]

I've been reading through this forum for quite some time...longingly anticipating my turn...I had started this process back in July of 2010 and I finally have a surgery date!!! March 29th is the big day!! whew hooo!!! I'm having it done at mayo clinic..they are so darn conservative, it seems like it's taken FOREVER and a day. but now i'm 2.5 weeks pre- surgery...almost there, i guess it's time to take some before pictures this weekend so i have a starting point...i'm a photographer, so i'm used to making things look pretty...hmmm no way i'm going to be able to make my body pretty...there isn't enough photoshop in the world..ha ha ha...But i will do it anyway because i find the before and after pictures SO SO motivating. I also told myself i will start running when i get below 200. I'm about 240 right now. So here is the question...I"m really big on my Vitamins and supplements, i take alot...on a normal day i take a multi, Vitamin c, B12, niacin, Biotin, tumeric, fishoil, flaxseed, and usually wheat grass blend along with trace minerals. will i be able to continue taking those after the surgery or am i going to have to wait? Mayo policy on the liquid diet is 4-6 weeks but they said they have NEVER had anyone with a leak because of the longer liquid. wondering if any one has any ideas on this? I'm glad to be here, yall seem very supportive !!!

I'd check with mayo clinic and go with what they say. You should definitely be fine with them once you're allowed solids.
