I had my surgery exactly one week ago. The time's been flying. I have not yet felt HUNGRY, nor have I ever desired solid food...I am sure I will eventually, but for now, it's been pretty awesome. WALK as much as you can, SIP and then sip some more.
You are truly changing your life! Way to go! I'll be praying for you, JJ.
