ALEandVSG 51 Posted August 2, 2018 I’m one of those people who like order, I know I want to document my journey I just want some ideas. Rn I have a pre surgery binder with everything that I’ve been through so far but I’m looking for ideas for after the surgery. This is some stuff I have so far.

Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted August 2, 2018 Very pretty and it looks like you will be the Queen of Documentation! My hat's off to you! Some suggestions: Just for reference, I just went back and looked at my food journal. It isn't unusual for me to have 9-10 food lines per day. This does not include any liquids. If I also needed a line to include liquids that have Protein, I'd have about 3-4 more lines. I don't know if you've scanned pages or if this is a template that is adjustable, but I just wanted to let you know. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 2, 2018 Mostly on top of that I have copies of postings I found especially useful in my journey. Thicks I thought might be able to utilize as times go on. My current program gave me pamphlets which,i have in a folder from Wal-Mart, Preparing for Surgery,Now that your Surgery is Scheduled, Life after Bariatric Surgery and I think,there is one more to come Happy Recovery-Happy Life, probably,will you have reached your weight goal and are transitioning,into Maintainance for,the remainder of your life The first 3 are so fat i,will probably need. to start a separate folder for the last one. I'm sure there are support groups also for post-surgery patients. If they think I will be attending they are deluding, themselves. They seem to have them scheduled in the evening, I live 50 miles see,iwhich means 100 miles round trip, I no longer drive and there is not another soul in my county I can carpool with. Sure I would pay half or the gas but there is just NOBODY! At any,rate my surgery will be September 5th in Columbus Ohio. 1 ALEandVSG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm making this myself and i didnt print out anything yet as I still have a little more time before I start my new life style, so I can make changes. Thank you so much for the feedback this is exactly why i posted. 1 TakingABreak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
