Thank you Deb, for the good energy and advice. I'm still struggling with getting in enough protein. I may be worrying about it too much. I have an appt. with Dr. Minkin this Friday. I hope he's happy with my progress so far.

Hi, I'm doing really well. Sore, hungry and tired but I'm doing okay. I try to walk around every day a little bit. I didn't have much of a problem with gas. My biggest problem at the moment is getting enough Protein. The Protein shakes are getting really old, but the good news is that I've already lost some weight so its well worth it. I have no regrets. Hope you are all well. peace, kim

Emilyxx, thank you so much for your reply! It's very helpful. I'm one of those people that needs to know what to expect, but even then I get a little freaked out. I start my pre-op liquid fast a week from today. While I'm not looking forward to it, I am kind of. BTW-your babbling is very calming to me, so feel free! And congrats on your 29lbs! Sounds like your doing great.

My surgery date is coming up so fast. Went to see the nutritionist last week. There was so much information to remember, I should have taken notes. So.... I have a couple of questions for everyone. Are you still hungry after surgery? And, about when do you get your first fill? Thx, kim

Thank you, Deb! I truly appreciate the advice and support. I've been trying to be more conscious of how I eat my food, chewing more slowly and thoroughly, taking smaller bites. It is quite and adjustment. Like you, I woof down my food too. Hmm, it actually taste better when you chew it. Imagine that!:drool: Kim

Hi all, I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Minkin on Sept. 2. I'm very, very nervous but excited and ready to get my life back. I can already feel my dysfunctional relationship with food falling away. And reading all of your posts helps to diminish some of my fears. Best wishes to you all! kim
