One more thing, I slept with a king size pillow over my stomach due to furballs, and it's been a life-saver while healing. 4 weeks out, I can tolerate being jumped on once more.

Wonderfully detailed post! I didn't experience the cold thing, and I'm still struggling with heat intolerance. It got up to 95 today, and it's been so hard to make myself get out of the house and into my hot car. Ugh.
The hunger thing varies person to person. I had your experience in the early days and my appetite and hunger have returned just enough to ensure I eat, and even enjoy what I'm eating, but not enough to change the fact that I'm full after 2-3 tablespoons and want no more. That's a good place to be for me.

May your surgeon have steady fingers and your nurses be kind! I had to remind myself to even think about food for the first many days after surgery. It wasn't too bad, and I hope it won't be too bad for you, either. Make sure to take "before" photos of yourself tonight! It's your last chance.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I just wanted to let you know you've got this! I have a hard time with the mobile app, but the desktop isn't too bad. You'll get the hang of it. Just don't be afraid to click icons. Just remember to follow your surgeons instructions and know that you have this!
