Freedom

[Dobeigh 69]

Do any of you, who have had your sleeve done, feel like you are more free now than before you had your sleeve? I feel so free! I can eat anything I want without fear of gaining weight. It is very freeing! Of course, I can only take a couple bites of whatever I want but even still... I feel a lot free'er than I did pre-sleeve. I went to a bonfire and had a couple bites of a hot dog and a couple bites of macaroni salad!

Yes I do feel free.... I have also noticed the foods I desire are different. I crave salad and healthy foods. I am still not at a place where I eat much bread or carbs at all. I find myself wanting much more variety than before. It is nice to be free!

I've noticed, since my surgery was only Feb 26, that my brain wants things that my taste buds don't like any more. Like, I ordered a cheese pizza from Papa Johns and I didn't like it! Papa Johns used to be my FAVORITE pizza. And I didn't like it any more. I also tried to eat a philly cheese steak from Penn Station and GROSS! It was sooo greasy and salty, I couldn't handle it. I just threw it away! Things that are healthier are more appealing to my taste buds but my brain is still learning. Very interesting!!!

I feel ya girl, I haven't tried any of my old favorite foods yet. pizza is most definitely it but I am scared to try it cause I don't want to like it. My biggest craving is a salad! I want a salad sooo bad and I won't be able to have one until I hit 2 months. Sucks!

Lord yes. I can eat anything! Nothing bothers me unless I eat something that is too sweet or rich or eat too much. I can only eat a couple bites and then I'm done. Today, I did pretty good. I ate 1/5 pound of angus beef for Breakfast. And then I made me a sandwich for lunch (took all day to eat), and now I'm having a Greek yogurt. As long as I chew my food good, it doesn't hurt. If I don't, it sits in my chest and hurts soooo bad! My tastes have changed too. I'm glad I tried the pizza because now I know I don't like it any more and it's not constantly on my mind. I was only able to take a couple bites of it, and it was enough to know that it doesn't do what it used to do for me any more.

I've been the same way. My surgery date was December 13th and I'm down 56 lbs. it's AMAZING! I love my sleeve. No regrets.
