Best wishes! ... there is so much to look forward to!

Are you on a liquid diet? Did your doctor give you a pre surgery goal weight? My surgery wasn't approved unless I met the goal weight. My period started about two days before my surgery and I gained a little, (They still did a pregnancy test the morning of...) but I was still under my goal weight. They didn't weigh me the morning before the surgery. I had a pre surgical visit the week before where I was weighed and I believe I had gained 3 lbs. There is generally always a difference between the scales and time of day. It's a odd/stressful time before the surgery. There were so many times where I would imagine a reason why they might cancel the surgery, and it was all in my head. Try to relax-- breathing exercises, find positive mantras, remind yourself why you're doing this... :-)

That sounds great! I am just over one month post-op and I remember the exact same things. The only pain I felt was from the gas... I still do little burps, and like you never burped... And I still never really feel hungry-- at least not like I used to. :-D

I was having a difficult time starting the soft foods diet, and I have always loved soups, so I make a pureed tomato-basil soup (A Cooking Light recipe). To increase protein, I add unflavored whey protein. As my body started to allow me to swallow new foods, I started adding different things to it like turkey sausage and low fat mozzarella cheese.
