    Hello! Family knows more than Dr's!

    I don't know how I would have managed the whole process with out my husband's support. The choice to have this surgery, to hopefully better your health, is ultimately your decision for yourself. You're giving yourself the gift of a new start. Hopefully your family will come to realize your doing this for your future to be healthy with them, and they should support your positive decisions for yourself regardless of their opinions. Good Luck in your process!

    December post ops

    Hi, I'm 3 weeks 5 days post op today. When I was 2 weeks and 4 days out, at my 1st follow up appointment, my surgeon said I could try soft foods. My problem from the start has been thinking about my pre op favorite foods. Almost obsessively I think. Now that he gave me the green light on soft foods I try to twist my meals into my cravings. 1st fat free refried Beans mixed with pico de gallo salsa with sour cream and avocado, about 1/2 cups goes down really well so then I took cream of mushroom Soup added green beans, garlic powder, and soy sauce, to mock green bean cassarole and it goes down so easy (I chew chew chew the green beans) so then I took pureed tuna, avocado, cheese crumbles, and soy sauce, 1/2 cup went down easy but then caused me great sickness for hours afterward, with the dry heaving and everything. but still I continued! Then next day I made buffalo chicken dip with greek cream cheese and canned chicken, red hot sauce and regular ranch dressing. I ate about 3/4 a cup and it caused me great sickness again for several hours but still anyways later that night I had the ultimate: about 1/4 of a mexican pizza from Taco Bell which didn't taste like it did preop so I was very happy something finally did not taste good. I just don't know what to do to stop this. I'm thankful that most things make me sick. It's just ridiculous that I'm putting myself through it. Everyone here is doing so well sticking with their prescribed diet plans. Also, I am now thinking I am feeling hunger. It was so great not having hunger. Is anyone struggling like me?
