pjknitts 47 Posted August 9, 2013 This is My first time posting but have been reading for a week. My surgery is Monday. Super excited and stressed. I've been scouring for all the info I can find and have been very impressed with the info I've found here. I started this journey 6 weeks ago and now I'm here. Just days away from surgery! Good luck to all! I'm having my surgery on Monday too! 2 Mocha2871 and sis4slimin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reni 9 Posted August 9, 2013 Post-op diet day 2. Today was much better than yesterday. Tonight I am not going to bed hungry and I ate/drank less today than yesterday. For a few hours this afternoon my husband noticed I was a little irritable but it passed. It finally hit my husband tonight that we will not be enjoying food together for quite some time. 1 Mocha2871 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sis4slimin 13 Posted August 9, 2013 Ive been curious to know if anyone else feels like their spouse doesn't quite grasp what exactly is going to be changing with this surgery. My husband acts like its all "my choice, my life" and its not going to affect him at all. Any postop people have advice on this? Does life really change that much or just the portions?

lestudi 2 Posted August 9, 2013 My surgery is supposed to be in late October. And, to be honest, I haven't really been following my 6mos supervised diet all that well. It's been really hard for me with my crazy work schedule. I know...no excuses. But, any advice to whether or not this is something I can really do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From that moment on his view was altered and his support increased tremendously. He's always been great but he has an amazing willpower when it comes to food choices and exercise that I don't possess. This definitely helped him realize I'm battling a disease.
