Big day tomorrow

[Carol-WA 1]

Hi tomorrow I go for my pre-op class and any testing that needs to be done, and I am very excited. :whoo: Just over a month now till I get my lapband..wooohooo:)

can use any input one things to do prior to surgery..I have been practicing taking small bites and chewing the dickens out of it.:clap2:

I can use any hints to keep from getting into trouble the first few days..

thanks Carol in WA

Well, I did exactly as you are doing--I was practicing for the whole month before surgery--and I'm sorry to say it really doesn't help! (sorry!)

After surgery you will be "sipping" for a few days, and then you may go to the soft / mushies, where you can use a small spoon and the food will pretty much slide right down without much chewing.

You will remember-when it comes time-to chew, chew, chew and eat very slowly--and I thought I was totally great at it because I never had an issue: Until Wednesday, when I let some tuna fish go down without being chewed enough.

I will just say that when you don't chew enough once, you learn your lesson well, girlfriend!

My very best to you and your pre-op testing!
