November 17th
is my surgery date. This Thursday I am to go and see Dr. Jefferson Vaughan
in Jupiter, Fla, who will be performing a Lap. RNY. Then it is off to
Jupiter Medical Center for pre-op and then a Bariatric Seminar, so all of
this takes up the entire day.
THEN…..the following Tuesday (a week from THIS Tuesday), the big day
arrives!!!!! I’m SOOOOOOO excited. After going through the paperwork,
atending seminars, getting approved from the insurance company, having all
the necessary tests done, the day I have been waiting for for nearly 4
months will arrive.
Hopefully I won’t encounter any complications. I am presently 5′7 and weigh
260lbs.
It was suggested to me by a friend of mine (who happens to be an MD
specializing in Internal Medicine) who had an OPEN RNY in April that the
protein drinks she highly recommends are Proscore 100 chocolate and ProBlend
55 moca cappuchino. These are apparently very high in protein and very low
in calories and NO SUGAR or FAT.
She also recommended visiting the website www.vitalady.com. There are some
very good products for US.
I’ll keep you abreast of what happens on Thursday and of course after the
17th.
Can’t wait to start my new life!!!!!
