@@PurpleJazz - Congratulations, great job getting ready so quickly. Please keep us in the loop on your progress. BTW, measure yourself, because in a few months your weight loss will stall. It's just the body catching up, but you will get discouraged, that's when measuring your shrinking arms and waist will be the best indicator you are doing good.

My hospital did not offer an abdominal binder. Thanks for the good luck wishes.

I am back home now. And I have lost 3lbs already! I am realizing that cold things HUUUUUURRRTTT. Why is this?

Glad to hear you are home.

Temperatures, tastes, and textures are going to be wacky for a while. I found early out I could do ice chips and Popsicles, but had to have other liquids room temperature or warm. You just have to experiment and see what works.
