Congrats on the surgery. I did find after about the 3rd week I could literally eat ANYTHING I wanted including a McD's mighty kid double cheese happy meal (shame) I think I had to mentally see I was going to be able to eat those things because I know for me once I CAN'T eat something that is all I want to eat. I try my best to do low carb which is hard to do with kids. I now bring a little stylish lunchbox everywhere I go and I fill it with things I can eat...Like string cheese sticks, lunch meat and cheese roll ups with a small container of mayo to dip it in. My biggest struggle is drinking my water..I am not big drinker to begin so Dr Baptista suggested I drink before I eat and that has really helped and it even helps me stay full longer. It's not easy that's for sure...I have to be aware everyday of what I am putting in my mouth..however if I want a cookie I have ONE otherwise I will eat everything just to not eat that one cookie lol. Keep me posted on your progress
