But seriously, you'll make it, it's not fun, but you'll make it! The first couple days are the hardest, I think by the end of the second week you're just kinda numb. AND you can come here and grumble about the headache and fatigue and starvation....no one understands like we do!!!

I've started trying to change how and what I've been eating and drinking but I know it will be nothing like the real deal.

I'm thankful I found this on-line support group, today I got my first negative comment about my surgery. Yep, you guessed it... It came from a skinny nurse. She's concerned about future complications. She hasn't walked one mile in my shoes...

If I could suggest 1 thing...start cutting out simple carbs and caffeine now so it's not as hugely overwhelming on your body when you just quit getting then at all.
