Take a BIG breath!! Things have a way of working out!! You don't want your body to get stressed out before your surgery. I'm so excited about your upcoming Journey. I really look forward to following your weight loss!!

Plan what you will drink/eat the first week post surgery. Do you need to pick up some Protein shakes, creamed Soups, etc?

Definately dont stress about it. The biggest thing is making sure you have plenty of Water, homemade broth, and maybe even some sf popsicles or sf pudding. For the first week you won't eat much more than that.

Also, have a heating pad available. It helps with the gas pain.

Honestly for me this surgery was a piece of cake. It was getting used to the life changes after that are more difficult but it just takes a few weeks and you will be well on your way.

Hope all goes well! See you on the other side.

If your boyfriend can only be home with you for 2 days, it wouldn't be a bad idea to line up a friend or relative that you can call on if you need help during the day such as picking up prescription or taking you to follow-up appointment. You won't be able to drive for a few weeks (takes a while for general anesthesia to get out of your system) so expect to be housebound or get a ride with Uber or a friend.

I also did a test run with ordering groceries delivered.

I'm sure you'll do great and recover quickly -- best of luck to you!
