I had my surgery this past Monday b4 Christmas. ... I actually didn't have any problems cravings.... I was released Tuesday an in order some pre fixed dishes... I just had 2 heat up for everyone. .. not it all smelled great. ... but the pain I drinking water not correctly make me not want it ... I fixed an had the kids help they enjoyed helping..... an as they sat there eating the turkey an all I sat there with my Jello an Isopure juice...
