Thanks so much for posting! I'm on 4th day post-op...and I'm feeling bad for feeling "not myself". I think I should be up and ready to take on the world and I am no where near that. I'm still sore, and apparently still re-covering. I do need to be good to myself and stick to the rules of liquid only. I have had a very teeny, tiny piece of chicken and let it liquify in my mouth only because the hunger pains are horrific! I'll stick it out and hopefully after 2 weeks, I'll be fine and after I step on the scale for the first time I'll see a difference. Fingers crossed!
