I'm proud of you. It is exciting that you got to go back to the hotel the first night. I know that I would prefer that if it is possible for me. keep up the great work.

Okay sliming sounds really BAD. I am living in blessful hope that it never happens to me or if it has to happen I am alone when it does. It sounds not only uncomfortable but deeply embarassing. Thanks for the info and I do mean that. I just purchased Dr. O's book so I can have more info.

I have not heard anything of the sort. i will try and see if I can find out anything and forward to you.

thank you. Do you know what they mean by slimming?

We are arrving on MOnday so I am not sure if I will do pre op on Monday or Tuesday morning. Hope to see you

Can someone please tell me what slimming and PBing are? Also, can you point me to the Post OP diet, I saw somewhere someone thought it was posted but did not know exactly where. I am going for surgery 8/3/10 and need to read all I can find. Thanks R

Reading in the forums, I have come up with some questions I am hoping someone can answer for me. What is slimming and PBing? They sound yucky - how frequent do they occur? Also is there somewhere that you can look at the post op diet? thanks

Started pre op diet today. Just want to be on the road.

Thank you for your response and encouragement. Although nervous I know this is the answer for me.

Have started the mental processes of discovering new rewards systems for positive feedback. First and foremost, as soon as I drop a dress size all of those clothes are out the door - never to return. My reward for losing enough and getting a first fill will be a manicure and pedicure. Second fill, a trip to the Open air market in Palm Springs for some fabulous new clothes. Anyone have other ideas????

I had contacted the OCC 2 months ago and as of 2 days ago, made the commitment and am scheduled for surgery on 8/2/10. Feeling lots of trepidation and excitement. Part of that I know is finally getting to the place where I can admit my food addiction. The other is knowing I am finally going to do something about it. Will be starting the Pre op diet on the 13th. I wish it was already post surgery but the wait is good, let my head get wrapped around the new beginning. I am fortunate to have a loving supportive husband and friends (those I have let know). One of those dear friends has actually offered to be my traveling mate. Gotta love it.

Good evening. I am scheduled for surgery on 8/2/10 and coming down from Eastern Washington. I am nervous and excited both. Have been struggling with weight for about 20 years and have finally admitted to be a food addict. Loved Dolitte's article on good fillings. Thank you for the info.
