San Diego? I'm 3 weeks out, feeling the ups and downs of it right now.

I highly recommend my surgeon, Dr. Wittgrove in La Jolla, CA. I've had a few setbacks already with gastroentiritis, but its because I misunderstood that I could introduce eggs to my diet, yet my doctor wanted me only on liquids for the entire month because I had a severe hiatal hernia he repaired. So far I've joined the gym, and I'm going to it as well! I hired a personal trainer for once a week, joined support groups, taking my Vitamins and Protein Shakes, yet I feel the need to engage in the kitchen where there is food to prepare my shakes and Soups, but I'm never hungry and feel forced to do this when I really don't even want to???? Sigh.... its taking a lot of discipline, meal plannings, and motivation. Just need to keep at it and not be discouraged. That's why I decided to join in on these forums.

After a while you get into the swing of things and it is second nature. You have changed bad eating habits for goods one and that is MAJOR !!! Your life is not revolved around food anymore !!! The love affair is over!! I am 14 months post op and I have so much time to do other things instead of focusing on food all the time. I know what I can eat and what I can't anymore, I am on regular food. Don't worry you will get into the groove of it soon.
