Hi, I think I am having a case of cold feet. So, I am starting to get worried. My surgery is Monday and I am on day 13 of my pre-op fast. It isn’t the surgery that worries me or the immediate recovery. I expect that to be hard – at least the first two or three months. It is long term that is scaring me. I want to know how much I will be able to eat six months to a year from now. I am scared that I won’t be able to get my calories in and eat normally – not too much – but normal portions. Once I lose the weight will I be able to just eat again – not as much – but not worry constantly about whether or not I am getting enough food! How much are you able to eat now? How long did it take you to get there? THANKS!!! Really nervous.

You give me hope!

It really does sound like everyone is different. I am really hoping for the easy recovery and then be able to have small portions of what I want. My first hope is to not get dehydrated. This is probably the scariest thing that I have ever done in my life...
