The never ending supply of comfort and soul food everywhere. I'm from a North Carolina/Virginia family. I loved the country cooking, but my tastes have changed post surgery. I don't even miss it. I even tried a bite of a biscuit and was happy by how let down I was by the taste and texture. When I'm around the big home cooked meals I'm thinking how Good a Greek Yogurt would be. lol.

Just my belly was shaved. I have no scars either.

Are those new issues?

Discuss with you surgeon! I started exercises that didn't place any strain on the torso first (arms and legs). I'm working up from there. Just listen to your surgeon.

Awesome! Getting back to normal is a relief. Keep up the good work.

Liquids 2 weeks, soft/puréed 2 weeks, slow intro of solids as tolerated after that.

I tried several hardy Soups. I just strained the solids out. That helped give me a good variety of flavors during the first two weeks.

Giving up beer was my only fear with the surgery. The surgeon told me it's not the beer it's the carbonation. I have switched over to a margarita or liquor and sugar free mixer. It hasn't been bad at all. I only drink alcohol once every week or two. I've had no problems and I feel the effects quicker, so Its cheaper. The one difference is that no eating while drinking or you get too full to do either.

It sounds real to me. I was blessed with great insurance that didn't require most of the pre-requisites many face. My surgery was approved and scheduled from my decision to pursue it. It was almost like a whirlwind. I had no time to get cold feet and haven't regretted it. Keep up the excitement...your life is going to change.
It was decided to scheduled in under 2 months. Sorry I left that out and I can't figure out how to edit my post.

My dietician has directed me to eat my Protein first then if I have room to eat vegetables. I rarely have room. When we were discussing post op diet I told her I was well versed on low carb diets Atkins and South Beach. My one cheat is a margarita once a week since I can have beer anymore. I don't even want sweets or junk anymore. Eating is a chore now...for which I'm thankful.
