Hey you! Sorry I just saw your message - looks like you're going in for your surgery today. Good luck! I have had a GREAT experience (am 3 days out now). Very little pain, very little gas. I've been walking a lot, that seems to be helping. As far as the first day, that was probably the hardest -- though not that bad -- it just takes a little getting used to the soreness and trying to not use your stomach muscles when you're getting up. I still don't feel like I understand how or what to eat - I'd love to hear your plan. I'm not hungry at all, and I'm trying to get plenty of water -- nothing has upset my stomach yet, so I'm wondering if anything will when I start introducing proteins or soft foods.....

I'd love to keep in touch - let me know how you're doing. Are you in Mexico also? I fly home this afternoon, so excited!

Best wishes!
