auntminnie 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Hi everyone! I'm new at this! I had my surgery last week one week ago today! I am an Italian cook! And I love food, but unfort for me, the Italian side of my family also comes with high Bp, diabetes, ect, so, I took the chance and had the surgery! Was very excited! But now that it's over.. Not so much my friends and support tell me it gets easier, I'm very nervous in ways of what to drink, or eat, since doc says I can have the stage 2, and WOW!! Do I miss the taste of food!!!!!! I thought once the surgery was over it would be diffrent, I know that it will get easier, and I will eventually be able to eat more of my fav's. but I do believe this is the best option for the bariatric surgery! So thanks everyone for welcoming me aboard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lose2win 32 Posted January 16, 2013 Don't know about the rest of you but my surgeon only did stomach surgery' date=' not brain surgery. Once a foodie, always a foodie. I still love food even at 28+ months out. Yes, watch food Network and cook up a storm. I just eat smaller satisfying portions. Now, this is a double edged sword being a friend. Easy to go overboard and graze. I admit, food was my secret (not so secret) friend who I went to for all celebrations, disappointments and boredom. You need to deal with this PRIOR to surgery so you don't break down in front of a buffet like I did a few weeks after surgery bemoaning that I would never gorge again. And I won't. No one says promises this VSG journey will be easy, WLS is never a cake walk (pun) but I know almost everyone will agree VSG was a good choice. Here, we will hug and cheerlead you on to your many victories ahead. I love my sleeve and have no regrets.[/quote'] Niceome Sent from my iPhone 5 using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
