Yea, I couldn't wait to actually sink my teeth into something. I heard of some people chewing ice cubes to help with that, but i have noticed cold liquids still upset my stomach, so I never tried ice cubes. Yes, let's stay in touch!

Congrats! I hope you are feeling well and recovering fast. I think I am happy with my decision. I am still trying to get over the food addiction so its been tough a lot. Still trying to work our some kinks (i have GOT to stop drinking so fast!), but I am happy with the results. I am off of all my medications (was taking 5 different meds before surgery) and have noticed I can do things I couldn't do before. I am actually no longer scared to go on walks with people because I know I can do it and wont have to make up an excuse to stop for a rest!

Yes, I had surgery (RNY) with Dr. Friedman at Shands very recently. I thought he was very good. Not a huge fan of the Nurse Practitioner, but everyone else is wonderful. The nutritionist is great.
