you are just fine your not going to go your whole life w/out that stuff, as long as your not doing it on a regular bases enjoy, you did sugar free so thats good, just limit how often and dont get down on your self when you do have it we are human and you can not be 100% on the ball 100% of the time, -

Thats the way I am I can only eat like 3-4 bites of something and I am 12 weeks out, theres really no normal in this everyone is diff I have a friend that looks at me funny everytime I say that cus she can eat more then that, so just listen to your body it will tell you and if thats all you can eat thats all you can eat, just try to find high protein items so you get your protien in -
I am right there w/you I would never have thought I would do WLS but after hitting my last straw I did it, I had mine on 12/27/12 and wish I had done it sooner, I am down 57lbs already and feeling so good about it, the only thing I could say neg is not being able to get my water in I was use to drinking 100-150oz of water a day and now I am lucky to get 40oz in, at first the protien was hard also but that has gotten so much better in the last 2 weeks, I would not have changed my choice to do the surgery I cant wait to hit goal and to beable to stay there,

Better or worse than expected?
giggles232000 replied to Sooner girl36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really didnt have a whole lot of pain after I got out of the hospital, I only used the pain meds once, in the hospital they kept me on the morphin didnt feel nothing, lol as far as food that was not hard but not easy at the same time if that makes since, I dont crave anything anymore and love that and I am not hungry all the time like I use to be, the hard part is the not being able to eat much, had to learn my stopping point, lol -
Yes dont look at only the bad there is alot of good w/this surgery I agree w/the above, every surgery has risks and you need to make sure you do what the dr's tell you, if you think this is whats for you then do it dont go by other peoples post you dont know why they are having issues and you need to think about what are your health issues now, that losing the weight can help, , I had my surgery 12/27/13 and yes I have had some learing curves yes I Have thrown up, thats part of it when your use to eating as much as we did in the past you have to learn not to eat like that and for some people that can take time good luck and keep us posted
