I'm also scheduled for surgery on the 12th. I started my pre op diet yesterday and I've had a headache ever since. Its a high Protein low calorie diet. I had to buy all this gross food from the NUT and I get to have 2oz of turkey, chicken, fish etc. with lunch and 2oz for supper so it's nice to have something to chew and not having all liquids. I have my pre-op appt later this afternoon. Should be a breeze. I meet with my surgeon again next tuesday and have my endoscopy on the 9th and surgery on the 12th. I'm nervous cuz I'm a single mom and I always worry about the what ifs. I know everything will be fine and I'm really looking forward to the new me and being a healthier mom for my son.

Follow their directions and don't cheat, you'll end up paying for it. The first couple of months after surgery, is an adjustment. Right around 90 days post op I felt like I was coming out of a fog, my clothing size dropped by 3 sizes, the sun was shining, the grass was greener lol. You'll get there too, just have patience

I'm 90 days post op and understand your concerns. I can honestly say you're going to do great! After you get past the first 30-60 days, the food restrictions, etc. I promise you, it does get easier. My biggest surprise so far is that I don't like alot of sweets anymore!! I can't stand red meat. I lived on those two things quite alot before surgery! When the bloating from surgery goes down and you start noticing your clothes fitting very loosely, the excitement begins. It's both a mental and an emotional adjustment. Get plenty of rest, get your Protein and Water in you and all will be well
