Finally able to eat my favorite food!

[rolosmom7 740]

So some of you have seen my posts about the best "healthy" wings - i love buffalo wings. Well, now at 10 weeks and 3 days out I have had them (all of 3 delicious little things).

So, to all of you newly post op wondering when you can eat your favorite foods I promise eventually you will be able to make a healthy version - it feels like forever, but it's not! Hang in there - whatever your chicken wing equivalent is will be here soon

(Just don't go back to your old ways of eating them)

I have loved chicken wings since surgery, oddly enough. I max out at four pieces (not whole wings) and enjoy every bit. YUM!!

That's for posting this. I wonder if I will ever be able to enjoy food (in moderation) after surgery. It makes you think this is not a good idea.

I wondered the same, but I really haven't found anything I can't replace with a healthier option. I was a big eat out of convenience person - a lot of fast food, frozen dinners, delivery. If you want a burger, just eat a mini turkey burger no bun. chicken wings? Bake them instead. Pasta? Try zoodles. There's a lot of easy swaps. And don't get me wrong, I still had a bite of pumpkin and a bite of pecan pie Thanksgiving. But the mashed potatoes, the rolls - just didn't call to me, and my 2 bites of dessert was satisfying, didn't need or want more.

The only thing that I wonder about is will I be able to have a high quality root beer when I go camping or bbq. This will wait until the maintenance phase.
