The New Me Journey Has Begun

[Toodie1974 39]

I have started this awesome journey that I know will change my life forever. On June 16, 2014, I finally started this journey with my husband by my side. I am kind of nervous but I know it's the best decision I can make for me.

June 16, 2014 - First visit to Peachtree Surgical and Bariatrics in Atlanta, GA.

June 28, 2014 - Started the required 6 months weight loss program

July 31, 2014 - I met with the nutritional eval, had EKG and PFT.

August 28, 2014 - Stress Test Scheduled

Everything is moving right along; I know December will be here before I know it. I am just taking it one day at a time and looking forward to that day.

Blessed and Highly Favored

being nervous, stressed, excited are all comon emotions prior to WLS - and even post WLS

glad you have support from your hubby

any/all support you can gelt is very helpful

continue your research

read these boards, they are very helpful:)

maybe experiment with some of the important rules of WLS

if you smke - you must stop!!!!

if you are a big coffee drinker - prepare to slow down

eventually your doc probably will allow some coffee

all docs/NUTS have differen rules

only listen to you medical peoplke;)

"mosts" docs also don't allow straws

practice Water rules such as

don't ever, ever drink during meals

de not ever, ever drink for about 45-60 minutes after you eat

many other basic rules you can look "forward";) to

practicing some things will put you ahead of the game

December WILL be here before you know it:)

good luck

Toodie,

Time will fly by and your date of surgery will be closer than you expect. CONGRATS to you with your current process. It makes a big difference when you have hubby on your side.

Blessings to you and yours!
