Congratulations!! It will be here before you know it..

Congrats on your date! Take this time to stock up on things :) catch vitamins on sale BOGO and protein mixes (some you may not like after surgery so be careful stocking that) Mine is scheduled for Dec 16th and I have purchased water bottles,baby plates and forks to keep portion and bites small, vitamins, and my surgeon's office requires us to purchase a certain protein powder from them and it's 27.00 a container and I am on limited income so been purchasing some each month to stock up, also take this time to find a routine that works for you! If you put in place a routine now then when your post-op it will be a breeze 

thank you for the guidance. Im going to start to stock up.

I too have limited income- Im on disability. 

i am going to start to go to meetings for more support. Oo0o0o0o0o0

I'm getting a treadmill on Sunday, found it on craigslist for 100 dollars. Also I got a YMCA membership. need to start using the membership. the ymca has a pool and i love to swim.

I as well have a YMCA membership and yes they are great. I am starting Nov 4th a ladies on weight class that's just women and they teach you how to tone your body. I am on disability as well and the extra time has really helped me get so prepared
