I have a family who loves eating out. Was this a hard transition for anyone? Is it weird when everyone else is eating and you are sitting there? Does the waiter look at goi funny? I want to still enjoy the family time. Is there something you all started with your family in place of dinners?

They also said they want me to get plenty of salt to help retain Water....

Yeah, I have had issues with LOW blood pressure post-op. All those years of trying to watch my sodium intake before surgery and now it's hard to get ENOUGH sodium after surgery! My PCP literally wrote "liberally increase intake of salt" in my patient plan when I went to her about the dizzy spells I'd been having. Definitely a huge adjustment.
