I am 5 days out and im sorry to be a realist but there is nothing you can do...nothing ...to prepare you for what will come ...my suggestion is this ...get yourself 4. , 1 ounce cups and fill each with a fluid of sugar free variety ..and sip each ( must be consumed in no more and no less than 15 minutes ..don't exceed 1 hour ..that's what you'll be eating for 2 weeks as your meals .all daylong..........I am hungry , I crave , and want food ...never thought it would be this hard....I would pay $100 to eat an apple ...I dont like apples btw.....my family needs to eat and the smells are killing me ...the sights are grueling ....be realistic when it comes to postop the work you need to do is MENTAL ...I wish I set up a therapist prior, I'm on that now , and will be seeing someone this week, I ate all I wanted ( the last supper) and enjoyed every second ....but I've cried now for 3 days ...I know this will end ....but it's the reality...your need and want to eat will still be there
