Amazing I'm 5 weeks and today I was thinking the same thing. I'm getting bored eating the same thing over and over. I'm going to do some research this evening. I'll post my findings when I'm done.

Hi all..........im 4 weeks out of surgery 10/15.........and i was curious has anyone found a good cookbook to use? Im getting bored and find myself eating the same stuff all the time.
Thanks!!!

I am two weeks post op and have lost 15 lbs since surgery. I have no regrets so far. I won't lie, there were times in the first 24 hours when I kind of wondered if I had done the right thing. That passed and I haven't looked back. I can't believe how good I feel.

I'm a 48 year old single mom of two girls, 16yrs and 12yrs.
The hospital stay was a but of a vacation lol.
I decided I was going to turn 50yrs at 150lbs not 250lbs. So here I go.

I confess that I too, think about food way too much, but I know Im not really hungry.
I confess, because of number 1, that I am totally addicted to sunflower seeds
I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee everyday, but add Unjury unflavored to it.
I confess that since I quit smoking in December, I still think about smokes everyday. (prolly explains #2)
I confess I eat chocolate once in a while, but I think that is why I DON'T eat it everyday.
I confess that I USED to get upset about missing my old eating habits, but now Im proud of the fact that I don't give a crap about it anymore
I confess that I lie to my husband when he wants to go out to eat and I don't. I tell him I don't feel like it. The truth is, I have better things to do than to sit and watch him and the boys make 5 trips to the buffet.
I confess that I am secretly amused when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat... I just think "Keep going skinny man, one day you wont fit into that chair".
I confess that I am proud of the fact that I am forty something and getting physically fit. I make sure everyone in the house knows I just came from the gym.
I confess that I looked in the mirror way too much today, the first day I have worn size 14s.

The itch has been driving me crazy too! I was sleeved on 10/14. I have glue and steri strips. I was just itching around them. I go to the Dr today.

Try a cold pack.

Well the surgery will untie it! Haha no really good luck. It will be a changing day in your life (like Dr Phil always says!)

Tomorrow's the big day trying to settle my nerves and get to sleep have to be at the hospital at 6 a.m. Thanks everybody for the encouraging words Cheers tomorrow we're starting the us let's stay in contact please
