I was advised to stay away form chewing gum becuase it causes you to swallow alot of air and can cause bloating, Same thing with using a straw

Hello All

I am new here & scheduled to be sleeved on November 14th. I am trying to learn as much as possible before. These boards seem full of great information and nice people.

Good to meet you!

Topic: RE: # Calories and weight loss?

Alba- I'm not there yet so my only 2 cents would be make sure to get those proteins in first for satiety and eat slowly- I've traded in my adult silverware for infant silverware just to help with slowing down my meals before surgery to get me accustomed to smaller portions- and believe it or not it HAS helped to make me full longer with smaller bites and chew, chew, chew. :)

Someone who I talked to today suggested chewing sugar free gum or watermelon for the chewing sensation that is missed during liquids. :)

Topic: Introduction

Hi, my name is Lorelei- I have a VSG scheduled for August 22, 2011 w/ Dr. Hoehn in Kansas City. I'm married and have 3 kids. I have 100 lbs to lose and am real excited to start this journey! I start the 2 week liver reduction diet on Monday and am probably more nervous about that undertaking than the surgery itself. I'm a hairstylist and my coworkers are surprisingly supportive.

Topic: # Calories and weight loss?

Wondering how many calories you are consuming and whether you think that reflects fairly on your weight loss. I've been averaging750 calories per day for the last month, but have totally stalled for the past week and a half. Just went on soft foods, and having a hard time maintaining the low calories(as in NOT), and find that I am not very good at tolerating hunger since I started the soft foods. Anyone else?
