I met with one of the Dieticians at St Joe's (Hamilton) today and was approved! He did bump up my vitamin D to 4000IU since my levels seem to be keeping low even with 2000IU of D3 daily.

He did tell me that the the current wait from surgeon to surgery is about 2-3 months so hopefully I can still have it done in the fall... Regardless the process is moving along!

Goals between now and surgery is moving away from my morning shake and focusing on Protein rich meals where the protein is first and foremost.

Congrats!!! It's a great process and so worth it!

I take 3000IU of vitamin D daily for a year now and last blood test my levels were FINALLY over normal range so that will help for sure!

I still have my premier protein for breakfast daily... lol

My dietician has told me to try to move it around but it's so easy in the morning. It's either to have it or don't have anything. I think she accepted that! lol

Hopefully the 4000 will help.

I do love my shakes in the morning so it might be difficult. He said it didn't have to be completely cut out but try to not have one the majority of the week. I am starting to wake up and go on my evil TreadClimber in the morning so I will have time to do the breakfast thing at least.
