I was told by the nut. today that a bite will be the size of a pencil eraser??? Is this true and you can chew it 20 times!

I have my surgery on Monday. I am scared of not being able to slow down too! I am on my preop diet right now, mostly liquids, but I am sucking the bottom out of the protein drinks and other drinks! I know that I wont be as hungry post op as I am now but dang! Can I slow down?? I am going to start trying to practice eating slowly. They say putting the fork down helps and I notice when I talk a lot during a meal, I eat a lot slower. If I am having dinner with a friend and we are talking, I dont eat as fast. Maybe that would help to call someone or talk to someone on a subject you are passionate about. Its all I got right now.. sorry I am not more help. Tammi

I am on day one of my pre-op diet. I feel your pain. I can have a protein drink for breakfast and lunch, crystal light and diet juice. I can also have sugar free jello. For dinner I can have 3 oz of lean meat and a non starchy veg. I cant wait for dinner! I am feeling pretty hungry right now and I just finished the protein drink. Ughh. We can do this though! Its going to be worth it in the end! Good luck to you and keep me posted. My surgery is set for Monday!

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me how to put that ticker thing up? I made one but I dont know where to paste the URL. thanks.

My name is Tammi and I saw my doctor today. I got a surgery date of this Monday the 8th at noon. I am so nervous/excited! I have labs in the morning and I am on my preop diet as of tomorrow morning. Things got a little rushed up because of my work/school schedule and thankfully my dr. is obliging me! Its been a long time of being sick and tired all the time. I look forward to finally being free from this body and able to really live again! I have over a hundred pounds to loose and I cant wait to start! Anyone know of a tasteless protein powder to mix in things. I dont like chocolate and I just want an unflavored one that is not gritty. Thanks!
