Vertical Sleeve Surgery date Monday, Noveber 12th

I'm SO excited to finally be at this point of my journey to weight loss.  I've lost 40 lbs pre op.  Lots of hard work and changing of habits.   Hopefully this will help me through the rest of my life.   I'm a little nervous about learning to eat slow and chew and to not gulp.  I've heard that it won't take long, because it is painful otherwise.... Any suggestions or comments?   I'm the only Fat person in my household.   But  not for long!
