I made it! Surgery was Monday and I'm feeling pretty good.
Right now it is water ;) and then broth or jello or protein drink... and did mention water?
Congratulations!
Congrats! It does feel like a job & it can be overwhelming sometimes, but it does get better. Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk walk. Repeat often.

This is a lot of time and work at first but it gets easier. Use this time to set yourself up for future success. For example, I put a lot of time into entering foods into Myfitnesspal in the early months. But now it takes about 3 minutes per day to weigh and log all my food. But it has help immensely.
Keep working! Drink, drink, drink!
