@@pmo23 Hi! Congratulations. I would start practicing not drinking with your meals and experiment with some different Protein powders or ready-made drinks For before and after your surgery. Do as much research as you can. There are a lot of great inspirational people on here that will help you along your way. I was just sleeved Monday and I felt really prepared thanks to all the help I received. Remember every experience is different, every journey has its own list of rules to abide by. Good luck to you!

My surgery is Dec. 18th. About 2 weeks ago I came off all caffeine and started practicing eating very slow. One week ago I stopped all alcohol and made a conscious effort to chew each SMALL bite at least 30 times. This weekend is my last weekend to have caffeine free carbonated beverages and to start a high Protein diet. Next week I will start replacing one meal with a Protein Shake. I'm also pushing Water, water, water. Start now making changes. I for one didn't want to be detoxing off caffeine and soda while trying to do my 2 week pre-op diet. I would go postal!

Hi PMO23 - I'm a month away from my surgery date in December, and I'm having the same problem. I don't know if it's anxiety over the procedure, but I feel like I've lost control over my appetite. I was doing so much better BEFORE I got the surgery date. Are you better now? If so, how did you manage to control your appetite? Thanks! I hope all goes well for you!
