Hi all, My surgery is is 12 days and I have been slowly getting myself ready for post-op life. I have bought a food processor, water bottles, and a heating pad. As the day gets closer I'd like to buy some protein, soups, etc. Anything else you guys suggest? I will not not be cleared to drive until 8 days after my surgery and will only have someone with me for 4 of those days, so I feel like I need stock up on things now. Thank you!

We all have done the food funerals. I did mine right up until I had to start the prep diet. I gained too - might have been the large cheese with extra cheese pizza I had!!!! It will come off. Be dedicated to the prep diet, very important to get you in the best shape for your surgery. No more tears, you ARE doing this and not alone.

Hi...I had surgery on 8/29/18, I am diabetic as well, I am actually losing weight rather quickly 10 lbs in the first 7 days, 21 lbs down since surgery and my A1C was bad also, almost 10, since surgery I have come off all meds and my blood sugars are between 100-120, my endocrinologist took me off the meds. As I lose more weight and exercise my numbers should get even better. I don’t eat many carbs but berries and such a small amount, I choose less carbs because I want to have good control of my blood sugars. I wish you the best!

Thank you That was great to watch.

I have had red and white wine and vodka, My only advice is to start small and do it in a safe place. You will feel the effects a lot sooner than you used to. Other than that, enjoy!

That made me laugh out loud. Good luck with your surgery.

I’m so glad to hear it doesn’t go away!! Thanks for sharing.

This afternoon I looked at my feet and it felt like I was looking at someone else's feet. I even sent my husband a text about it. My ankles aren't swollen either. Tonight my husband said my fingers look longer now from the weight loss. When I put on a non sports bra this evening I was in shock! There's a huge gap in my bra now. Wasn't expecting that to be so drastic this early on.

Same here. Feet are thinner and not swollen anymore. I had no idea ear lobes get thicker with weight gain. I also don't wear earrings so......
