    Miz Z1 got a reaction from Alex Brecher in Did You Have Complications After Weight Loss Surgery?   
    My recovery was so uneventful that at my first post op appointment, I "accused" my surgeon of not operating at all and just marking my belly with a Sharpie and putting little bandaids on and calling it quits. Three years out and I have a hard time finding the little scars from my sleeve.

    I've never been happier or healthier. Recently, I wrote down the changes I made and was surprised at how many there were. Before I made my list, I would have said I hadn't made many. My guiding food principle is that I have a limited amount of space so whatever I put in that space has to count nutritionally. So here's my list:
    1. I can eat anything, except bubbles, of course. No fear.
    2. If I want a cookie, I can have a cookie but no boxes or bags. I have to go buy a good one, just one.
    3. As a rule, I stay away from all types of Pasta, even the "good" kind. I can have it, I just prefer not to.
    4. I avoid bread unless it's fabulous or unavoidable. I have a sandwich with the equivalent of one piece of bread about once every three weeks.
    5. Never say yes to a bread basket. Why fill up on nutritionally empty food and have no room for the meal?
    6. I exercise. Quite a novelty for me compared to my past life. I now go to the gym 4 days a week and don't feel right if I skip.
    7. I can have crunchy Cheetos if they come from a vending machine, usually when I get my car serviced.
    8. Ice cream is ok, it's just not allowed in the house.
    9. I don't count calories or journal my food. I feel oppressed by both.
    10. Be grateful every day for the miracle that's been given to me.
    Hope these help you

    Miz Z1 got a reaction from FinallyFit50s in Who will you tell that you are having WLS?   
    I told people who knew me that I was having surgery. People at work were going to figure out something was up when I was out for so long. Rather they knew the truth than make something up like a dread disease. I got nothing but support from family and friends and work associates. I think it would be a shame to cut yourself off from all the potential support. It anyone thought I took the easy way out, they didn't say so. If they had, I'd know they didn't deserve to be my friend. It's been more than 3 years since the surgery and I still let people know if appropriate. Still not one negative reaction.

    1. I can eat anything, except bubbles, of course. No fear.
    2. If I want a cookie, I can have a cookie but no boxes or bags. I have to go buy a good one, just one.
    3. As a rule, I stay away from all types of Pasta, even the "good" kind. I can have it, I just prefer not to.
    4. I avoid bread unless it's fabulous or unavoidable. I have a sandwich with the equivalent of one piece of bread about once every three weeks.
    5. Never say yes to a bread basket. Why fill up on nutritionally empty food and have no room for the meal?
    6. I exercise. Quite a novelty for me compared to my past life. I now go to the gym 4 days a week and don't feel right if I skip.
    7. I can have crunchy Cheetos if they come from a vending machine, usually when I get my car serviced.
    8. Ice cream is ok, it's just not allowed in the house.
    9. I don't count calories or journal my food. I feel oppressed by both.
    10. Be grateful every day for the miracle that's been given to me.
    Hope these help you

    I've never been happier or healthier. Recently, I wrote down the changes I made and was surprised at how many there were. Before I made my list, I would have said I hadn't made many. My guiding food principle is that I have a limited amount of space so whatever I put in that space has to count nutritionally. So here's my list:
