HI Jenni

You'll find loads of hints and tips on here from all the sleevers.

I'm being done on the 10th June, and have started to eat cleaner, having been on Weightwatchers since November.

I've cleared out my cupboards and have started to prep for post op with some Soups already... keeps me occupied.

I've also cleared out my big clothes to friends and charity, and am trying to get as fit as I can for the surgery.

Good luck with yours - let us know how you get on.

Kathy

Hey Jenni, welcome and congrats on getting your date set.

Start eating smaller portions now, sit your utensil down in between bites, don't eat and drink at the same time(this is typically the hardest habit to break). That's the little things that will help post-op.

Mentally, prepare yourself that a lot of stuff is about to change. There may be some tough days, but the good days outweigh the bad. Go in with a positive attitude, and stay focused. Follow your surgeon/nutritionist's dietary guideline and post-op diet. Yes, post-op diets suck severely, but they are in place for several reasons.

Best wishes, and know we're here to support you through this amazing journey.

I stopped drinking pop about a month ago and the last 2 week stopped putting sugar in my coffee.

Hey,

My date is set for June 28th with Dr. Jossart in California. I am so excited and have been reading everyones postings about their experiences. I appreciate everyone writing and posting on this site as it really does help me as I go through the experience.

Thanks All...
