I am a year and it took m some timeto figure out what I can eat...there will be some things that u ate all the time before the surgery that u might never eat again... I cant eat steak anymore. Its take too long to chew and it is hard to digest. Make sure u take advantage of ur current stage....u wont have an appetite...but it will copme back out of no where!!!!!!

Welcome to the club!!!! Good Luck!!

Last night I had Alcohol for the first time since my surgery...Lawd Have mercy I was DRUNK not tipsy after 2 long Island Ice Teas....Can anybody explain to me why now after the surgery it does not take as many drinks for me to get hammered?

Not sure..I waited a year

I am a year out...I dont have to take the small bites but I have to chew the food well...sometimes the food is so good and I forget and I end up having to puke (excuse my french)..

I felt that way also...get use to the burping that is going to last for a minute...I got to the point where I didnt want to eat at all....I just drunk shakes all day...but this to shall pass....u gotta treat ur new tummy like a new born's tummy...its adapting to its new size.

Thanks guys!!

Thanks Channie!!

Thank you Leleboo!

I am currently dating someone that I met a month after I had the surgery...she is really nice...real sweet. Buuuut I am not use to all this attention I am now getting...it feels soo good, I dont want to be in a commited relationship. I want to get out in enjoy the new me!! I never thought that I would feel this way before the surgery , I dont want to hurt the person I am with now... has anybody else been in this postion before and how did you handle it?

Thanks Robbino

Yessir!!! Eazye....If I get down to 225 lbs I might need to change my profession :-)

Sharon u said something then baby!! I dont have time for no catfish!!!!!!!!!!!

But when you"re 6'3 335 lbs and you cant finish a house salad people start to put 2 and 2 together, I think it is much easier for a female to say she is on a diet, I have not told any of my coworkers I had the surgery and when we go out to eat together I get so tired of having to explain why I eat such small portions. I remember before the surgery my plate would be fulled with food and people would say "hey man u need to cut back ur eating too much" now when I have a small plate of food they say "U know damn well that aint gone feel you up" Thats the Crap I dont like!!!!!!!

I went on a date during the stages where I could only eat soft food..nothing solid. I went on about 3 dates and the chick said you eating like u just had weight loss surgery O_o..... I couldnt lie, I told her!! She was very understanding.

I take 50 grams (2 25 gram scoops) every morning along with 3 amino acid tablets, I have not taken creatine, have you? When I played college football my Strength coach had all the little guys take creatine to gain weight so I always shyed away from that. I going to have to start doing more cardio so I can become more lean, I just HATE cardio but I know in order to reach my goal of 275 I have to get busy!!!

Feels soo good!!!

I am going to be honest, I was addicted to food, I ate when I was happy, sad, mad, you name it. I was amazed at the amount of food I use to eat. People always told me that after the surgery that I would be full after only a couple of bites of food, I was like yeah right. People around will you say I know you're going to eat more that, I know you cant be full. I am year out of surgery and last night I ordered a grilled chicken salad and I was only able to eat half of it. The moment that did it for me is when I saw a friend that I have not seen since college and he did not know who I was because the weight loss. The really felt good and let me know that it was all worth it!!!

Why thank you!!!

Bahahaha!!!

LMAO!!!! Thanks Granny!!!
