The answer is Yep. You most certainly will. Perhaps not in the quantity you are accustomed to but you will indeed enjoy your favorite foods again.

Just today I have enjoyed some donut holes. half of a sangria margarita, and some delicious Mexican food. Not in the amounts I would have enjoyed in the past but the few bites of each that I did have were excellent.

There will be a lot of advice coming to you about what should remain off limits, how you'll need to count calories, carbs, Protein, and blah blah blah.

Just an example of the other side of that coin - since day 1 post op I have never counted a darn thing, I've eaten what I pleased, do not monitor Water intake, and I sure as heck do not have a 'plan' about what I should do or not do.

And guess what all that has gotten me?? I've lost just about all the weight I wanted to, I am healthy and strong, I have not stretched my sleeve, and I do not have huge issues with gaining weight. Sure sometimes I gain a pound or 4 just like everyone else. At that point I pay a bit more attention to what I am putting in my mouth and the extra pounds go away in a couple days. Then i get more donut holes. No worries - you'll do just great

I'm 2 weeks out and I feel the same way you do. It's hard explaining how you feel to ppl that has not gone through the process. Your not alone. I really want a Ginger Ale and a pizza lol but I'm so scared of the "dumping" I just keep reminding myself that I did this for a better me.
