thanks u guys are really helping!

If you did NOT have one... it would be okay. Like any craving or annoying itch, it will pass. At the end of the day, no regrets! Safety first Enjoy the holiday no matter what you decide.

My doc said ultimately, stay away from sugar and try your best. No sweat. Worst case, the surgery would require an open incision instead of laproscopic, doubt that though!

@nate - I really dig your "tried it at home" profile pic

Okay thanks!

What does eating too fast mean to you? How long does it take to eat a meal, snack, 1/2 cup or so? Trying to practice some now. How many times are you chewing? I am amazed about different food tastes completely chewed up. Sometimes, not so good. Thanks in advance! Still using small utensils?

Maybe think about all the reasons you like these gatherings besides the food. Make a list. Focus on them. If you want to take some home, no problem. Focus on the people, relationships at the party first? Planning ahead is key.... You are on the right track.

What did you find? Could be a great Dr Suess book! Funny yet profound. Oh, the places we go....

Looking great! Like your new hair cut. Keep up the good progress.

No doubt, although I put a countdown app on my phone.... Just over a month is really not that far. I start preop in three weeks! The countdown made it seem more real.

36 Days!

How long after surgery were you able to do basic yard work like cutting the grass with a push mower? I live in FL and assume I'll have to hydrate ahead of time, with breaks. No chugging Water
