. Thank you so much .. It's been easy food wise it's just the mental. Worrying about potential complications. Risks etc.

@@lachellove

Of course you are worrying. It's major surgery. You have every right to worry. Stay strong. It's worth it.

The worst is over. Once you can get on soft foods, you should feel a lot better. It made a big difference for me. Congratulations on making that decision to improve your health and quality of life. Your first year will be up in no time.

. Thank you so much .. I'm happy I made the decision as well. It was time.

Also wishing you luck and support. You have got this, follow your plan and reach out here to friends. You are pretty much in the clear for complications. Take it easy and allow yourself time to heal and rest. We are here for you!

Just wait! It gets better from here on out.

My surgery date was August 13 so I completely understand what you may be going through. My biggest issue right now is the spasms after I drink my protein. I'm told this subsides after a couple of weeks and I really hope so. Not really missing foods but I had no idea how many commercials there were on TV until now. Be grateful you have a support system.

I'm very grateful my concern is my biggest (in person) support is returning to work tomorrow he has helped ease my doubt and feelings of uncertainty since after surgery. Im not even allowed to have protein shakes will be calling my nut tomorrow to see what can be done as far as getting in adequate protein.

I totally agree about commercials ugh they are the worst especially Popeyes it's been coming on back to back

Why can't you have your protein shakes?

I'm unsure I asked the dietician the day before surgery she said no.. I'm totally confused I wasn't expecting that
