Save the Date!

So, I got my date!!! I'm super stoked. They called on February 6th and asked if I could do it on the 25th, with my pre-op classes and such on the 20th. Totally threw me off, since I didn't think they were going to be able to get me in until April. Unfortunately, as I'm currently training for my new job, I had a mandatory training day on the 20th. She had another slot open for surgery on March 4th, though, so I took that one. It is probably for the best, though, as I would have had to start my pre-op diet almost immediately and I didn't have all the stuff for the protein shakes, etc. yet. I was able to go online over the past few days and get the stuff ordered.

Supplies have begun to arrive, and it's exciting as they come. As many know, protein shakes end up being a big part of your life during Bariatrics, so having the right products can make a world of difference. We are allowed to buy Whey Protein or Whey Isolate, but since Isolate is absorbed easier by the body, I went with that. Torani Brand has a huge line of Sugar Free syrups that can help keep you from getting bored with the standard chocolate and vanilla you're otherwise stuck with. And while I've also heard good thing about the vitamin brand Bariatrics Advantage, I chose to go with doctor-approved Celebrate Vitamins which taste as good as the others and cost less.

25 days to go!
