What do you miss most after Weight Loss Surgery?

Yes! Way to go! I am happy to not have contributed to the soda $$$ machine any longer.

I also miss Chinese buffets! Eating popcorn at the movies will be missed as well. I can still gulp Water, but can only eat a cup of food. Guess I'm lucky? I am finding ice cold drinks hard to drink...more due to temp and it making me feel tight. I was also a gamer! Kinda bored with what's out there now, which is probably a good thing. Lol

About the Chinese buffet... My local grocery store has a fresh sushi and Chinese food buffet. Usually noodle,rice,egg rolls, and at least six different Entrees. You buy it by the pound. I can select whatever combo of meats, veggies and flavors I want. The smallest container lasts me 3 meals. It's the greatest invention ever!!

As for what I miss....I thought I would miss beer and whiskey, but I really don't. It's nice being the only sober one with no hangover after most parties. I eat anything I want (in moderation), so there are no foods to miss.

I'm sure the pizza joints already did that the year before I surgery. We had a year long monitored diet. I dropped 30-35 pounds or so. Pizza was one of the things given up but Jason's Deli more than made up for that. LOL.

half way through all these posts and thought I would add some thoughts.

in preparation for pending surgery, I have quit drinking (95% less than before)(I may have a drink tonight to enjoy the fireworks), also quit soda too. switched over to non-carbonated drinks like iced tea.

I have heard this said before... "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

I think for me it will be emotional or mental battle more than physical.

I havent had surgery yet, but the one thing I will miss the most is my large size. I wont really be able to intimidate people, sounds weird now that I read what I typed. I guess its an ego thing or macho image im not ready to give up yet.

It sounds like you will have to explore other sources of your own "strength." It's a big subject, and one worth exploring.

Best to you.
