This is awesome to hear and to see someone else getting the mental and physical preparation in swing. I am also working on pre-op habits and am going to buy get some protein samples this week. Can I ask you the name of the protein mix you found?? I would like to see if they have it here in Norway. I have tried to eat in 30 mins and found it easier than I thought. It is hard, however, to see the family up and leave the table before me hehe. I have been sick with the stomach flu this past weekend and realized as I was sipping broth, and slowly nursing a queezy stomach, that it may be exactly how I feel the first week after surgery...interesting =)

You are doing great with your prep work. I think I had the learning curve beat because I had the band first. It was a horrible experience, but it taught me a lot that helped me with the sleeve. Getting to the gym is the one thing I wish I would of done before. I've been out of the gym for about 3 weeks, and am hoping I get back into the swing of things once I'm released after having my GB removed this last Thursday. Great job on the protein find. Keep it up, and success will surely be yours ! ! !
