Lisha73 replied to bdo2309's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Let me tell ya...it is a snap! By the time you get in the surgical suite you are only awake for like 30 secs if that...then you wake up and get sent to your room...I was very sore...cant say pain just very sore...but with each day that diminishes...of course you might be like some of my friends that had ZERO pain or soreness.....believe me I was jealous! But I have to say I wounldnt change a thing!

8 days out and the smell of food tortures me!
Lisha73 replied to Reigo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes food smells great..but knowing that I cant have it well that is ok...Remember skinny feels better than vomiting after eating something that our stomachs cant handle....(had to put a spin on it) LOL -
A girl after my own heart! I went to Olive Garden for one of my last meals too...I had Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Gnochi soup, and some bread sticks....I enjoyed every second of it!
