Leaving for TO on Thursday morning

Hi everyone,
I'm leaving for the TLBC on Thursday, surgery Friday morning. I'm REALLY nervous and scared. I'm also exhausted and weak (I think I'm actually starting to hallucinate) from the pre-op yogurt/cottage cheese diet, I can't eat very much of it or I gag, I'm so sick of it. I think I'm only managing about 300-400 calories/day. I can't even IMAGINE what starving people go through!
So anyway, for anyone who went to the TLBC, how long after surgery until you were released from the clinic? How did everyone feel when they were released? Were you able to walk ok? Nauseous? Able to handle a long cab ride?
Thanks!
