I am getting really close to my surgery. I have one more nutrition appt. and then I’m good to go. It’s been 6 months of appts and tests and reading and learning. Today I saw my family doctor and someone in the front office is 3 months post op and we had a good chat. She is 51 lbs less. And I asked about post op pain. She said the air they blow in your system to expose the stomach etc.... was the worst part. Once she worked that out of her system she was good. She did pain meds in the hospital. And one day at home. She missed 10 days of work and although all the changes come and need to be addressed, I am pretty confident that the pain is close to that of maybe a gallbladder removal. Rest and healing is the key, she said pain was minimal. I’m encouraged and look forward to sharing my surgery experience and beyond. ?. You got this.

sometimes coffee without creamer is considered clear liquid. but My surgeon also said coffee was a no no....especially after surgery because it's too acidic. I tried to quit this last week....but I am a couple months away still. I broke down...could not take the headache... I guess cold turkey is not the answer. Good LUCK!!!!
