    Hi there, welcome here.
    Exciting times for you ahead.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    I'm doing great with the help from the doctor that performed the surgery, unbeknownst to me he ordered for me to have physical therapy 3xwk and also mindful eating counseling 3xwk, we have a professional chef come in and teach the class how to prepare healthy foods at the beginning of session which starts @ 5:30 and ends at 8:30 after we prepare the meal , we discuss how we feel and how we think we got to that point in life.
    My issues right now is that I can't seem to get the 64 ounces of water in a day and I'm a month in and struggling with what I can eat or can't eat watching the PROTEIN over CARB situation if there is any advice on how I can get through that please advise.
