The best advice I can give, and advice that I sadly did not get, is to start eating now how you will be eating after surgery. Every pound you lose today is a pound you don't have to worry about after surgery.

This is what I did and it really helped. I started with weaning myself off of d. Soda and any carbonated drinks (soda, beer, etc ). I was tracking daily whatever went into my mouth. I was getting at least 64 oz of Fluid and 60 grams protien. No fluids 30 min before, during or after meals. Concentrating on chewing food well and eating slowly. I was walking 15 min at a time 3 times daily.
I'm almost 5 months out and have been blessed with no complications. I haven't experienced any nausea or vomiting. Food still taste the same as it did pre-op. I started at a lower bmi of 38. I am losing around 12#'s per month. Hope this helps.
