Hi everyone! I'm in the pre-op stage, likely looking at a summer surgery. I'm incredibly excited about the journey ahead and am prepared to put in the work I need to be successful. These forums have given me a lot of help and insight, and I wanted to know what other tools or resources have helped you along in this process. It could be a website, blog, or even a gadget that has been beneficial (I've seen some portion control plates that look interesting). TIA!
