Had my surgery on Sept 7. I have lost a total of 85 pounds since preop. 50 lbs since surgery. I went down 5 sizes in pants and now shop in the regular dept instead of big and tall. If feels great, but weird. Would not change it for the world. Still adjusting to the amount of eating, but having no trouble with whatever I eat.

I am\was the same as you. The first thing I did was realize that I am going to change. I started to enjoy the walking in the gym, while I was on the phase 2 diet. I ended up losing 30 lbs prior to surgery that was last week and I feel great and look forward to the new me.

My wife and I both have the surgery, her for 4 years, myself 1 week. We have had many restaurants accept for her to order from the kids menu while once in a while the server may say no. As far as a specialty buffet as Disney character you will have to pay. I would try to speak with the manager, if possible the day before to see if they could assist you. FYI Disney insurance covers the surgery, so someone in there may know a fellow employee that may have it that would understand. Just saying.

Did your doctor give you a plastic device to inhale 10 times a hour. This device is very important. I had the surgery on the 7 with no bowel yet.
