My Pre Weight Loss Surgery Checklist

I’m a planner, I can’t help it. I just feel more in control when things are clearly spelled out for me. April 16th is fast approaching and my thoughts are so scattered. So, for my own sanity, I had to draw up a list of things to do prior to my surgery.  Feel free to borrow this list if you like. I’m happy to help. J

My Checklist
      Pack phone with favorite music
      Deep clean house so it doesn't completely fall apart while I'm down
      Secure sitters or relative caregivers for children
      Buy post-op supplies (sugar-free popsicles, jell-o, drink mixes, protein powders, broth, bouillon, soups, etc.)
      Locate living will and healthcare surrogate documents and discussed with family
      Put in for medical leave/short-term disability at work
      Start journal or video diary
      Take measurements
      Take 'before' photos
      Record specific long-term and short-term goals
      Pack hospital bag
