so fed up with chewing
I am on the pre op diet. All I have to say is wow I had a ton of time this weekend not eatting. It felt like I had a bunch of time to get everything done. Instead of like before where I would surch for a good resturant to eat at and wait to be seated and then wait on my food. Wow Liquids I saved myself a few hours. lol

Your Awsome Jack! I am going to get a back pack and fill it with rocks that weigh how much I lose. So when I hit that spot I can wear the bag all day doing chores. So I will remember what I dont have to carry arround any more.

Idiot question - did I choke or is this PB? (sorry)
PB is productive burp. something comes back up. Sliming is when something is kind of stuck and your body creates tons of saliva to ease it through and it backs up like slime. a lot of people just spit it out.

December Surgery Dates
I am trying to deal with my hunger and mood swings with humor. I am lucky everyone in my office knows about the band and are supportive. It is verry nice everyone is aware to keep snacks away and not sweets come to my office. And when I get bitchy they are not taking it personaly. And are accepting my apologies.

Pre-Op Diet... and a fun new toy!
I dont know if you have a Big Lots but here the magic bullet has an off brand for only $20 I like that price. Your little shaker thing I saw at walmart yesterday. I too am determined to stick to this plan! I am on day 3 having a rough time but doing ok. Mind over matter. I can do this I am NOT starving. Just really hungry. Has anyone else looked at the hunger scale? I keep mine out it keeps me from thinking I am starving. I am having head hunger really bad. But the hunger scale is great for my mind to see I am not starving I am really only at a number 3
