Well today is the day. I've been on pre-op diet for 16 days and lost 12 lbs. Followed diet "Pretty Good" and no alcohol, but allowed some leniency overall. Still not...

Hi Leslie, Congrats on your journey, I'm planning a 150 mile job interview 10 days post op. Figure I can sit and hold a steering wheel. How long were in in the hospital?
