Sorry to hear. Good luck to you. wendy

Welcome to the family. 3 yrs out so far no substitute addiction. Yes i do have extra skin but i will worry about that at another time. My life has changed so much in the past three yrs. I am pretty proud of what i have accomplished and would not change my decision. Good luck on your journey and remember we are always here for you. 1 piece of advise, well many but most important- Everyone is different. Don't compare yourself to anyone just celebrate your own accomplishments. Wendy

Basically in a nutshell most people here get it! And get me. Sharing, accountability,support (giving and getting), friends.

You will eventually move from clear liquids to liquids to mushies the solid food. You will have to eat slower cut small and chew chew chew. Exercise and drink drink drink. Everyday maybe different so at the beginning you maybe hungry, maybe not. You will figure out what your \band will tolerate over the time. You will be amazed as to what you don't crave anymore.

They say a minute, I do what everyone else does. put fork down till fully chewed and swallowed

My post op was the same as Missy's and have the same advice. I just want to add that everyone is different so don't compare yourself to anyone. Follow the rules your dr gives and go to support groups. Your starting off well cutting out sugary drinks. Cut soda completely. Start chewing your food a lot and eat slowly and cut into small pieces. That is the way you will have to be eating. Also start walking and build every week. Ask lots of questions both here and dr office Congrats, you'll do great. Wendy

Congrats and welcome

Congrats. Goodbye 40lbs Wendy

I agree with floridays. I have tried drinking and it wasn't successful. Some times I can have a sip of wine right before but not during. I will stick with what works for me no matter of new research. Good luck with upcoming surgery.
