As part of the Pre Op and Post Op process for the sleeve, which did you folks struggle with the most? I am in the pre op process now, and am finding certain parts are easier than others. I am having no problems remembering not to drink 15 minutes before eating and 30 minutes after. I set a timer for the after eating parts. I am a bit daunted by the measuring out things part. This was always my problem with past diets and attempts at portion control. I am a bit more determined now, as I am getting older and growing more tired of being FAT. I am also getting better at remembering to fully chew my food. The post op puree food stage looks like it will be on the easier side, and I use the term lightly. I have already gone through something similar with the roommate, he had hiatal hernia repair surgery in December of 12. I had to give him smoothies and mashed potatoes and lots of chicken broth. I even added a raw egg into the smoothie for protein.
