Pre-op, I had several required classes and was given a binder with most of the program information. My last pre-op class, about two weeks pre-op went into the most detail. My one week follow-up post-op class had more detail about the post-op diet plan.
Do you have any more classes or appointments scheduled before your surgery date? If so, that is a good time to ask about your post-op plan. If not, you may want to give your NUT a call for clarification.

Sleeved on August 8 so far no regrets. Looking forward to having a healthier lifestyle change with food.

this is going to vary from person to person - and depending on if you have a hernia repair or other work at the same time.
For me my initial swelling and sore throat resolved in a few days - and I went back to work after a week (and weekend) off - so about 10 days. the first month I took short days so I could get a handle on my eating and drinking and walking - and have a nap if I needed to.

That's a good way to look at it. I will skip the repast

Every since I decided to have surgery I have been snacking out of control. I see the nutritionist on the 18th to help me get ready for surgery in June. I'm not sure if I can do all this liquid I hear everyone talking about.
