welcome to the board, kwheen. sept 23rd is coming up really quickly. try to get used to eating really slowly and with tiny little bites. getting used to doing that, and separating meals from drinking were my toughest challenges. i'm still working on 'em. glad you decided to post with us. take care dorthe

Thanx, for the reply. I havin gbeen workin gon the eating slow part.Especialy since I hseem to eat when I'm really hungry and I end up eating really fast. I 've been practicing but, it has really been hard for me. The part of the drinking and the eating at the same time I think, Ihave that part under control I rarely do it now Kwheen

Kwheen, What really helped me was to read about WLS before hand. Then I really knew what to expect. You've got some time to do that. There are lots and lots of books about it. Good luck! Lori 384/313/170

I have bee reading sooo much lately my eyes feel like they are on fire. But, honestly I have been doing alot of researching. It just helps me especially when I can actually talk to people who have already walked in my shoes. You guys share such wonderful information here. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!! Kwheen
