What quirks did you have/do before surgery that you do not do now?

[O-Town Body Rock 148]

Here are mine:

1. Eating ice - I have been eating ice since I was 14. All day, everyday. Everyone who knows me, knows I eat ice. I would eat it at hoe, driving, at work, in meetings, wherever.

After surgery, I cant even eat a few pieces. Its not the same at all. The need is gone, the feeling is gone, everything. I cant even try to eat it.

2. Waking up at night - I have woke up at 3am every night for the last 18 years (started when I was pregnant with my son).

A few weeks after surgery, I was waking up and staying awake but now I sleep through the night. Its a miracle!!

Anyone else experience any changes?

Unexpected change is that I used to like good ole plain Water... ice cold. Now, even 2.5 years post op I can still barely choke down plain Water. My tastes changed post op... it is mostly returned to normal but I don't love plain water anymore.

• I used to wander in the pantry and grab a handful of peanuts, or some sort of snack - the only time i go in there now is with purpose.
• My allergies seem to gone
• I no longer snore
• I sleep through the night - used to wake up between 1AM and 3 AM , now I have to set an alarm, never used to.
• My Migraines are now few and far between. I used to get them once a week, I think I've had 1 in 2 months.
• I can't seem to sit still, I have to be doing something.

All of these things are WONDERFUL!!
