This week should be all about you! Being scared and nervous are normal. Get rid of trigger foods! SF popsicles jello saved me. Follow your surg/nut guidelines. Did your nut give you a list of things to have in the house when you get home? I cleaned my house paid bills before surgery so I wouldn't have to deal with any of that. I'm 5 months out 80 lbs lighter and feel great. Wish I had done this sooner. Best wishes.

At GNC and Walmart you can get liquid protein shots in fruit flavors. They are a little thick, so I mix them with some water and drink them over ice. It tastes like cool aid. They have 45 grams of protein, no sugar and almost no carbs. These will really help you stay full. Plenty of protein is the secret to staying full. At Costco, there is a pre made chocolate shake, the brand is "Premium" that really tastes like chocolate milk. These are good too. Chicken broth, sugar free popcicles and jello will all help get you through. Best of luck, it will be worth it!
