Hi! Newbie here. Found out today my approval came through, and my surgery date is set for May 5th. I am soooo excited!! I have so much to do to get ready though.

I know that I need to start the vitamins now. Any recommendations?? I am going start the my pre op Atkins on Monday, just to get a jump on it.

Anything else that I should be doing, but am not aware of?

Thanks!!

Vitamins sweets! Start them now! And the Calcium. I recommend Bariatric Advantage of course.

Start eating off a smaller plate and taking smaller bites and chew, chew, chew. Stock up on the foods you will need for the different stages after your surgery....clear broths, mushy foods, etc.

If I think of anything else, I will hit you up here or on Rt's board.

So good to see you here. Muah!
