I have to share this pic with you

In case some of you are wondering how much (some of) you will be able to eat after your surgery I wanted to share this picture with you .

I am 6 weeks out and this was my lunch today...a small, narrow, thin piece of veggie gourmet pizza from Round Table, and I AM STUFFED TO THE BRIM. And I don't eat the hard crust edge. It's such a miracle for me because I could eat at least 4 regular pieces before the surgery. This tool is truly a miracle.

Yay! Thank you for sharing that picture. I am almost a week out, and I've really been wondering about where I will end up ultimately.

Thanks for sharing. I know this sounds wierd for someone who hasn't even gotten my date yet, but I look forward to the day when I'm full from eating that amount. Before the pre-op diet, it always felt like the bottonless pit!

food is soooo much better now. I was at the point where I couldn't stand it and didn't want to eat at all. I am now eating my favorite things, just smaller amounts (as you can see ). I would always get a venti size light frap now I'm SUPER content with a tall . I'm lovin it!

It's really a great thing to kind of see all the changes. . . I know that it's so weird for me to go out for Mexican food, and be content with 4-5 chips with salsa, and a few strips of fajita meat with Beans and rice rolled up in half of a tortilla with loads of guacamole ! ! ! I could eat an entire basket of chips with salsa and queso, plus 3-4 fajitas. . . with all the rice and beans, plus some more chips and salsa pre-op.

Regular crust...they asked if I wanted pan, I was like no way, for fear it may get stuck ouch! I put some regular size paper clips at the side of the plate to show just how small it actually was ...I'm hoping to be able to eat a regular size pc. of pizza soon, I really think I need to eat more, especially for energy
