Things you wish you knew!

Hey everyone! I'm having my surgery on the 7th and I was wondering what are some things you know now that you wish you knew pre-op!

i wish i knew how long it would actually take to finish eating a normal sized meal & The awkward feeling when your sitting at a table with people eating and your just "I'm full"

Just how much I would get tired of Soup, broth & Jello.

btw unrelated to this ladys question, I was in NC last month and had the privilege of eating a hot krispy kreme donut.... it was amazing. yes i did a bad thing... still alive and on track

That is is not as easy as you might fantasize it to be. I always pictured myself being 100% dedicated as far as getting my Protein, Vitamins, and exercise in. After, not so much. At all. Now my hair is falling out and my skin is sagging. Hey, it's to be expected, but I always thought I would do everything possible to be good. *shrugs*

everything that has happened this far, i have been prepared for. between the big sleeve book, a couple of other books, this site, and several post op friends, i was VERY well informed.

that said...i think i wish i would have known that even though a lot of people have complications, it CAN be a fairly easy ride for many, and that all of my worrying was in vain. i have had no issues, feel GREAT and down 25 lbs 13 days post op.
