  1. I used sugar free liquids . It filled me up and it did not affect me at all. On a another note . I also use sugar free liquids now or they are low in sugar. I was on metformin. I was taken off metformin immediately and then was only on my insulin . My endocrinologist had me reduce my insulin from 80 ml 2x a day to 10& 15 ml per day . I feel great and the best thing I ever did for myself and in 6 weeks I lost 42 lbs and feel great . Just follow you food plan by your doctor . It is not much but you are not going to want to each much and also you eat small meals all day long
  2. Absolutely you are going to be nervous. But from my view, I kept thinking I will never eat....... That again . Well I have no desire to want that either. I had surgery 12/11 and lost 41 lbs and feel great . This is the best thing I did for me ever. I am going to be 60 end of February and I just say I am going to be a sexy 60 yo . It is a slow slow start and when the pounds start melting away you will be glad you did. I was also a big carb eater and since 1 week before surgery I have not touched not even a little drop of carb and not lost without it .
  3. Every thing come with time. I keep trying new things and finding not yet. I wanted a salad last night but it did not want me. I still find that the best for me is my protein drinks . I get my chocolate fix in and very satisfied. Do like I did if in doubt talk to your surgeon and wait. Do drink you water can not do water do ice chips and I also have SF ice pops . Put Crystal light in your water to give it taste but remember small sips do not drink and no straws . Good luck .
