Thank you all. Yes, I feel so much better!!! Wow that first week was tough. Appreciate the support!

Hi! I'm one week out and have the okay to start puréed diet. I am having a really hard time figuring out what to eat/drink, how much and when! Can y'all share any websites or ideas for meal plans? Thanks!

Thanks you all so much for your responses. It has been so comforting to read and re-read them.

Very inspiring!

After my surgery I had to receive 2 units of blood. Since being home I have no energy, and I hurt. I feel like when I read others posts everyone feels great. Is there anyone else who felt so badly for a few days (just want to lay around) and does it get better?

I'm a few days out and it was worse than I anticipated. I had to get blood and spend 3 nights in. Feeling very discouraged

I just came home from the hospital, surgery 11/19. My six years old pushed back in his chair and braced himself on my stomach. It just like $-&/)(! Do you think it's okay?

I have since found out from my doc that they require it for a BMI >50

My surgery is in 2 weeks and 1 day!!! I was told I don't have to do a pre-op diet because my BMI is < 48. Has that been others experience as well?

Hi, I'm new. I am having surgery on November 19th and I'm scared to death!!! Scared about the surgery and all of the changes. Glad to find this group! P.S. - my doctor didn't mention a pre-op diet. Anyone else not having to do one? Jen
