I've always heard, in general, the third day after any surgery is generally the hardest. Not sure why and I'm sure it's not true for everyone. But hopefully it's smooth sailing from here and you start feeling lots better. (Surgery 11/25)
I don't have to do a pre-surgery liquid diet since I met the 10% weight loss goal. I have well-meaning people telling me I shouldn't have the surgery because I've done well with this first goal. I have chosen the surgical route because of health issues.
