Hey Abuvave,
How did your surgery go? I hope you're doing well, would love to have an update on your progress!
Hi Abuvave,
Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Wow, not long at all until your surgery, I hope everything goes well for you.
It's not an easy journey and it's not a "quick fix" but as long as your prepared for the changes that you have to make I am sure you'll do great. Post-op you really need to make sure you get enough water and protein (most people use protein shakes).
We do have some pre- and post-op WLS guides, that you may find useful. You can find them on this page: http://www.realself.com/weight-loss-surgery/info
Good luck with your surgery and please do come back to update your review and let us know how everything went!
