I'm worried about being able to get my liquids and protein in also. My job is only allowing me to be off the Wednesday of my surgery and expects me to be back on Monday. I've done it before, but it was just a lap gallbladder...not something major like having the biggest part of my stomach cut out! They just don't understand!! I might just have to take the risk and call in sick for a few days to allow myself to get used to things!
