Pre surgery

Hey all, my name is Lindsay I am in my Pre surgery stage I leave for my consultation on Monday and I’m nervous but excited. I will be having gastric sleeve, and I’m just overall ready to live my life healthy! I know that surgery is not a fix rather than a tool. Any encouragement and tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
The best advice anyone could give you is to follow your surgeon's and nutritionist's instructions, which are usually given to you at the hospital or clinic. You can develop great menus with the ingredients they list. It's really not that hard, and when the pounds start coming off, your self-esteem will soar. You've made a wonderful decision for your health and we're here to support you. If you have questions, feel free to ask. We can't give medical advice but we can share our experiences.
Thank you so much! How has your experience been so far?
