Hi everyone,

I have been reading many of the posts and it has been a tremendous help.

I am 3 days into pre-op diet and doing better than I had expected to.

I'm not worried about the actual procedure, or being able to handle the liquid stage even though I know it will be challenging.

What I am scared of is PB'n and the slimming you talk about.

A week after surgery I will be starting a new job, as well as a new career that I am very excited about. But I am so petrified of having these episodes at work. Should I plan on lunch eating what I already know will be O.K.? Althought I have read that what works today may not work tomorrow. Any ideas?

Thanks so much,

Mercedes

Just remember to eat slowly, you will be fine. Try some soup or something till you feel more comfortable. Good Luck!

I've been banded since April and have not yet PB'ed or slimed. But, yes...at work or in public I tend to stick with foods that I have already tried. I chew really, really well and I think that helps avoid PB's and slimes.
