Vitamins, Exercising and Anticipating A Family Visit!!

I haven't blogged in a while....so I thought it would be fitting to do so today. I am still feeling really good, I have been keeping busy! I make sure to go on a walk with Zoey everyday for at least 20-30 minutes. I am on vitamin supplements that give me lots of energy. I just orders over $150 worth of special bariatric vitamins and a can of whey protein vanilla powder with a cool hot pink shaker bottle online. The order should last me for at least 6 months. I have to take special chewable or liquid vitamins and you buy them at this online store just for Gastric Bypass patients. I had to purchase a a multi, calcium and iron supplements so that I do not have vitamin deficiencies. When you have gastric Bypass surgery it bypasses the section of the small bowel in which most vitamins are digested and absorbed.

My family comes into town tomorrow, so I am super excited! My cousin Kelly and her two children Jonathan and Lauren will be leaving Virginia at 5am tomorrow morning to come visit me. I have my second doctor's appointment, so they will be coming with me. I am also super excited for this weekend, because I have two Gastric Bypass support group meetings at Atlanta Medical. I am going to drag the family along to that as well. I need all the support I can get! Hannah will be the guest speaker for the one on Saturday. I will make sure to take lots of pictures!!

Be on the lookout for more blogs!
