Great read, I enjoyed it.

I could practically smell the gravy & meatballs while reading your blog :-) I think a lot of us older folk grew up knowing that wasting food was a sin. And Lordy, I used to be able to wolf my food down! I worked very hard with my children & now grandchildren so that they are allowed to enjoy good and healthy food but not be burdened by it.

I think so many of us can relate to the 2 Golden rules you mentioned! Great story! I look forward to reading more! And thanks for sharing with us!

Funny how when we look back, so many of our memories are food based. And the way family and food go together - Thanksgiving, Sunday dinner, so much of our family interaction is around the table.
Being 100% Irish, I do not have quite the great Italian food stories. But some good soda bread... or the New England Boiled Dinner: potatoes, carrots, cabbage boiled in a pot with either a piece of something dead, or an old shoe... never did find out which it was - did not much matter after all the boiling.

Use the next 90 days to condition your mind and body to get used to the change that's about to take place. Start a mild exercise regimen. Begin taking vitamins if you don't already. Start eating with smaller utensils and smaller plates. Try not to eat and drink at the same time, and continue to scour through the posts on VST for any questions about this procedure and what life is like after being sleeved. Read the good and bad posts...It's a BIG life change and preparing for it before it comes will make the transition much easier for you.
Wishing you the best of luck!
