Well- I had my first nutritionist appointment on the 4th. I was so excited to just get started with the 3 month supervised diet. She briefly went over what was entailed with the surgery and the pre and post op diet and some of the rules. Then we set some goals for the next month:

1. dont' drink with meals (as right now that is a biggie for me)

2. chew, chew, chew, and wait a minute between each bite.

Ok.....so the not drinking with meals is going well (and I know we will change this to not drinking before and for sometime after), but the waiting one minute between bites is pretty hard for me....Oh well, just keep on trying. (I just keep telling myself.....if i don't slow down(once i have the band)its all going to come back up). Learn it now and it will be better/easier later. I have my psych evaluation on the 16th....kind of worried about that, but I have read in other's blogs that it isn't so bad. I truly am happy to have found this site and am happy to be able to connect with others who are going through the pre surgery part and with those who have had the surgery. It is great to have all of the support and validation etc. etc.......ok....thanks for listening today. Good luck to us all!!!!! Keep up the good work one and all. :sad:
