Go the drug store and pick up some zicam and emergenC. They will knock out that cold!! Congrats on quitting smoking!! Hang in there this will all be worth it!!

You've quit smoking and you're having WLS!! Good for you. I was allowed a meal at night until 3 days before surgery, than it was all liquid. I'll admit that I did eat those last 3 days, but it was protein and veggies. You will be able to eat soon enough. I'm doing my vlog and I actually took pics of my dinner last night, so I need to work on that video. You can eat "normal" food, just not at first. I think by the end of May, you can eat what you want, just not a lot of it.
