Thank u all for the great advice! I am 8 days post op and finally starting to feel better. Still on Clear Liquids but it doesn't seem to bother me. My mid back hurts like crazy. Hope that isn't a permanent thing. Otherwise doing pretty good. Walking every day and down 10 lbs! Thanks again:)

Did you have your surgery already?

You're able to tolerate diet coke?
