Hi I have just signed up to this Forum I am in the UK and am due to have a sleeve on 04 July 2012, I suffer with iintercranial hypertension and am told a good weight loss should solve this. I am currently 115 Kilos, I am really excited about my operation but am also worried on how I will deal with less food after it and how it will all fit into family life. Any advice would be really welcome.

So let's start eating differently today. How about eating 1/2 of what your eating now? Eat alot of Proteins, veggies with little starches. Drink alot of Water to cleanse your body out. This is a good start. You will adjust your eating when with family and friends. You will miss it, but it is a life saving procedure and to be totally honest. People eat too much food anyways. You can do this!

Dorries has it, eat less , make the right choices and you can soooo do this! Congrats on making this decision for yourself, you will be amazed how fast you are feeling better. Best of luck to you. You will not have to go without with the family, just better choices. It is probably a good thing to get the family eating better too.

WELCOME! How lucky for you to find such a great forum to help with your journey. Yes, Dorrie has it right! That's a great (and do-able) place to start.

Hope to hear more about how everything works out for you and your family.

:-D

Hi thanks for your comments, what about alcohol does the sleeve tolerate this?

I drink a few glasses of wine socially a week. I don't do carbonation though.
