I have a hard time with Water to, i have never liked it. I am never hungry but sometimes i just want to taste something. I am on liquid/ soft pureed food still. I love V8, and refried Beans are worth their weight in gold. I got a can of potted meat today, kinda higher than i want in calories but it has high in Protein until i can eat real food.

Hi, all! Well 3 weeks post-op now and down 34 lbs (since pre-op) !Someone at work finally noticed I had lost some weight. You have to love the comment..."You can really tell in your face". Like was my head the size of a watermelon? lol

I haven't told anyone at work either, Vegas. That's been kind of hard because I eat lunch with the same person everyday. I can only take 3 bites of something then comes the burping. That's been horrible.

I've only told 3 people other than my husband and kids. I didn't want people watching every bite of food i put in my mouth and whispering behind my back about how big my behind still is. :biggrin0:

Vegas, I saw your going on a cruise. Have a great time!!!

Hi Nanna!! It's a small world, I also live in Goddlettsville TN. I am 8 days out from surgery. I have lost a lil over 20 lbs now. I was totally opposite, i told everybody i was having surgery. I want to maybe encourage others who are afraid of having surgery. Maybe if they see i pulled through and do well they'll give it a try. I go back to work tomorrow and as you said, i do feel like everybody is going to watch every move i make and everything i put in my mouth. And I agree with you, the burping is terrible. I have never felt such a rumble in my tummy before a burp than i do now..lol. Well, take care and maybe I'll see you around!!:thumbup1:

My surgery date is Sept. 1st.....i can't wait.
