Yes, the dietician was helpful especially understanding the plan for the post-surgery diet. She will demonstrate food portion size and don't be surprised at how small it will seem but it is for real! You will learn that you simply can't eat more than that without feeling very badly. This is a very good thing. LOL
I see you're just two days away from surgery - I wish you well. This was the best thing I've ever done for myself in my life, I wish I'd done it sooner. Not easy by any means, but so worth all the effort. My stay at INOVA Fair Oaks was 4 nights, I had some minor post op bleeding and they didn't let me leave until the bloodwork indicated I was recovering well. I admit I was ready to go home but as I said in my other post, the staff was excellent.
