Im new and ready to get familiar with the community here. Been thinking about making an account here for a while. Im just seeking general advice. I feel like my doctors office sort of rushed me. Yesterday, they told me someone canceled for Monday 10/12 and if I would like to take that Surgery date. Of course, I said SURE! Went the same day, and did all my pretesting and registered. Now its hitting me and Im freaking out! HELP!

I have been a strong community member in other forums, but Im new here, and I would love some friends and support! Thanks

@@PurpleJazz keep us posted and welcome to the family!

My hospital did not offer an abdominal binder. Thanks for the good luck wishes.

I am back home now. And I have lost 3lbs already! I am realizing that cold things HUUUUUURRRTTT. Why is this?

Glad to hear you are home.

Temperatures, tastes, and textures are going to be wacky for a while. I found early out I could do ice chips and Popsicles, but had to have other liquids room temperature or warm. You just have to experiment and see what works.

Awesome advice everyone!
