Mrs.D

I didn't have a catheter or drain....I asked my surgeon and he said he only uses a drain in the rarest cases. Hope your surgery goes great!!

I'm in Fresno- Would love your 16s!!

Hang in there... It's completely normal. I remember feeling so sad for 2-3 weeks. 9 mos later, it's so much easier. No worries, you got this.

I'd recommend making some of the changes you will have to make after surgery. 1. Cut out carbs: this has been my biggest key to weight loss. If it has flour or sugar, don't eat it. 2. Increase protien: add a shake to your diet 3. Increase water: make sure you are getting 8 glasses or more a day. 4. Add some exercise. Even if it's just taking the stairs or parking in a space far from the door. You can do this! Good luck!

I forgot to list the most important...protein! He recommends 65-90 per day.

My dr recommends less than 50 carbs/day Less than 10 g of sugar per serving No caloric recommendation. He says he is more concerned w/ carbs than calories. I'm generally 800-1000 per day I think.
