I'm scheduled for tmrw Nov 8th. And I cheated on my pre op diet. But I only ate like a couple things. So nervous now

I am currently 3wks post op and I can begin eating soft solids in 2 days. The last two weeks of Protein Shakes have really done damage to me mentally. I feel like I am starving. I cannot tolerate drinking all of my shakes so I am not exactly getting in enough Protein. Anyway, all I do is think about food and it is killing me. I was not prepared for this at all. So far most of the people I talk to say they weren't hungry. Does this mean I'm crazy? Maybe I didn't really have anything removed! This has really taken a toll on me emotionally. Am I the only one?!

I was sleeved yesterday, Tuesday, Nov. 6th. I was just discharged from the hospital this evening. My surgery went extremely well, I’ve had no complications. However, I was not prepared for the level of pain. Make sure you stay on top of your pain management! I ran out of meds overnight and woke up in a world of hurt. BUT, walking helps. I did 40 laps around the hospital floor yesterday and 34 today. It’s painful but it’s gonna be what helps the most. I intend to keep up the walking and hopefully things will be calmer in a couple of days.
