I feel the same way. I have been heavy since I was old enough to talk and whine...my dad shut me up basically with McDonald's behind my mom's back. My food addiction grew from there. My after school snack at 3 was a full sandwich. That was followed by a huge Southern style home cooked meal every night at 5 sharp. And that's how I've been living ever since. I'm 27 now and have a daughter. I do not want her to rely on food like mama did. She was my true inspiration to hve surgery. Its been 4 weeks since surgery and I'm 35 lbs lighter. I miss food. I miss soda. But I don't want to miss a single thing my lil girl does in life. And that's why I eat healthy and exercise every single day. Best of luck to you )

When was your surgery Dee? I'm terrified of fried foods. I'm 4 weeks post op.

Say whhhat!

I had the same problem. Its been two weeks off my blood pressure medicine and the dizziness is gone! Yay! Hope you feel better soon

Good luck!!!

What do you guys take for headaches? I've had a massive 1 for 2 days!!

Thanks ladies

Can I get the list also? Dgarland1847@comcast.net

She doesn't mind

My surgeon said no straws for 6 weeks. Its funny how different each surgeon instructs us post op. A lot of it is just their own beliefs. I say if you feel comfortable doing it and its helping you drink, use one.

Maybe baked ones...I won't eat deep fried wings. I think that would definitely cause dumping

Good idea! My daughter is 19 months and eats those as well.

Those soft pretzels with cheese inside, hot wings, Buffalo chicken everything, Reese's cups, McDonalds sweet tea.......

i made the mistake of trying one of my daughters goldfish crackers. Went down so easy. Problem is they are addictive! Get them away from me!

I'm 4 weeks post op and still on synthroid. No adjustment or anything so far. Getting blood work soon. I don't think it will ever completely go away.

What kind do any of you use? Having a bM scares me!! Very painful

Thank you.

Water bothers my pouch too. It has to be freezing cold for no adverse effects. Hope you feel better!

Let me know about that Chinese too! I'm dying for some. Lol

I drink the g2 Gatorade only 7grams of sugar for 12 oz. My Dr told me to drink it.

Being looked at like a human!

I've been super dizzy everyday. I'm 20 days post op. Mine is bc my BP being so low. I was taken off my meds. Drinking more water and g2 Gatorade is helping as well.

The pain is manageable with meds! Don't be scared to ask for them! Feeling less pain will help the healing process! Good luck! Don't forget to walk walk walk!
