Hey sorry for just getting back to you. The first two days were rough. Surgery went great. My surgeon is Scott Watson in Johnson City, TN.
I used weight watchers for the first 40 pounds, cut out all soda, anything with more than 10 grams of sugar per serving, low carb. Then i got stuck in a stall so i switched to 1200 calories a day, sugar free. For the last 20 pounds, home now and recovering well
