Laurie , That is awesome news . I know you are excited ... and righfully so . If there is anything you need to help prepare for your surgery or for the journey . Please let me know .. Now is the time to start preparing . I have told so many and seen the results . Here are a few things to help you for now . 1. Start getting in more protein . This will aide in your healing and your muscles will thank you for it later . 2. Start looking at your suppliment regime . Take good notes from the doctor on what he wants you to have and begin planning you days after surgery . 3. Begin an exercise plan ..start walking . As this will be a way of life for ever . The key to successful weight loss with the surgery is this : PROTEIN + WATER + EXERCISE = WEIGHTLOSS . Congratulations .. time will fly by and you will be a looser before you know it . Many hugs, Natalie
