Had surgery 1/17

I feel great. I haven't been nauseous or thrown up. I'm on mushies and can eat pretty much anything ... I actually don't purée everything , sometimes I just chew it well. I did this surgery so that I can eat like a normal person . Instead of eating 5 cups of Pasta , I'll settle for a few oz... I don't plain on changing much of my eating habits , with the exception of McDonald's Big Mac.. I know that's gone forever... good luck to everyone

Good luck to you, too, danybx! Congrats on being on this side of surgery:)

Congrats on surgery. I just urge you to remember, you weren't on a Magic Bus that just magically arrived at the corner of morbid obesity and pain. Doing the same things and expecting different outcomes is the definition of insanity. So I truly, truly pray you will not just eat the same foods that got you to the dance, but rather adopt a new philosophy and relationship/behaviors with super healthy foods while you have this golden shot time frame to have the grace period to learn them.

Success to you!

May I suggest that you go for high quality foods. That’s what I did since I saved a lot of money for not needing to eat so much. Put that money toward eating organic everything, no antibiotics no nitrates meats, pasture raised eggs etc. congrats on a new life journey with your new stomach
