Hi everyone I'm knew to this group. Right now I'm tentatively have my date for Aug 8th. I'm getting excited and a little nervous. I've been trying to practice my chewing 22 bites. Only sipping my Water. I've had no caffee for 2 weeks. My husband has been great and has gone to all my meetings with me. I do want to belong to this group for support especially when struggling. I know the 2 weeks before will be hard. Please and me to this group for support.

Welcome! I just got sleeved on the 7th of June. These boards are wonderful and the people are amazing, supportive, informative and helpful!

I gave up caffeine before also and soda...(didn't completely give up alcohol...). It is great you are getting in good habit now. A great one to start is to carry a water bottle and get to where you wouldn't leave it at home....I tried to make mine like my cell phone...don't be far from it.

After surgery you will find it is the times you wouldn't think of to sip,sip,sip that helps you get it in...(in the car, line for groceries, waiting for kids...ect).

Good luck! This is a great gift to yourself!!!

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your progress.

I was excited and nervous too before my surgery, but like most people - it's one of the very best decisions I have ever made. I am happy with the results.

Pray for my patience, I'm so ready to be sleeved! August please come soon
