Thanks for the headache tips- I already know I will need it I am glad to hear it gets better after the rough few intial days. I am sure my excitement will help me power through too. I have started replacing 1 meal a day with a Protein Shake and lowing calorie intake a little more each day so it is not a complete shock. Good luck on your journey, hope. you are feeling well!

I did the same thing before my surgery was scheduled I replaced 1 meal with the Protein Drink and it did help me. I also agree that the first 3-4 days are the hardest but it does get easier. I have my pre op appointment today! Its getting so real! Good luck with your journey.

What helped me to get ready was I started using a smaller plate, and I used the half plate of veggies, 1/4 Protein and 1/4 carbs method. I made myself cut down to 1 serving of whatever it was - not going back for 2nd and 3rds. I think it really made a difference once I had surgery.
