Get well wishes to your grandma, Razz. I hope her recovery and adjustment goes smoothly.
It's good to hear your mom and grandma had lots of preparation and advice for what life will be like post-op. In high school, I worked in the kitchens at a hospital that performed a large number of gastric bypasses. We regularly got phone calls from patients that went something like:
"This is all I get to eat?!"
"...Yes."
"But I'm going to starve!"
"No. You're not. That's the whole reason you're here."
I felt bad for them, but it seems like there should've been someone there to remind them that they'd only be able to eat small rations.
