Well exactly one week til surgery I am so excited for my new life!! Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!! Thanks

Congratulations!!!! I have no advice, as I haven't been banded yet. Tomorrow is my big day. lol Time will fly

Congratulations to you both. I just started my 6 month supervised diet...so I'm a little jealous of you both But I know my time will come.

Congrats on your exciting journey! My advice is to practice chewing a lot and eating slowly. Dont drink 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after a meal and stop all carbonated drinks. Also if you are not exercising maybe start walking. I am sure you will get some more suggestions, but whatever you are supposed to after try working them in now.

Best of luck to you!

Take Chapstick to hospital, lips get so dry.

I purchased baby spoon to practice smaller bites with and it also makes you eat slower.

Surgery is the best sleep I'd had in long time.my anastesiologist was the sexiest sleep doctor I've seen.She was beautiful and nice curves.The metal operating table wasn't what I expected.the room was kind of cold.Before I went off into la la land.i asked why in the hell it was so damn cold in here.they put the oxygen mask on and I relaxed and was out.woke up.it seemed like a second from when I was under til I woke up.when I woke up I felt like I'd been stomped on in my chest.I kinda looked around and couphed.About an hour or so after waking up and urinating.i went home
