My prayers go out to you for your surgery. Hope your journey is safe and that it brings you both weight loss and good health.. (I am post-op 3 weeks HAVE A FEW HINTS:get all your items ahead of time:vitamins, foods, protein. I got alot of sample proteins from the bariatric site - easy way to find what does or doesn;t work for you. I ALSO GET a baby sip cup and baby spoon-which for the 1st week was very beneficial, otherwise found I was drinking to fast or taking to much of a small bit of food. I wish you all the best..) God bless
