Hello Nicewon, I had the same fears after my surgery. I am 8 months out from my surgery date and I can tell you that you will be able to eat just about anything you had before just not as much. When I go out to eat I try to share a meal with my husband. Here lately though he has been wanting his own. LOL I tell myself I can order the full meal just ask for a to go box and I can eat the leftovers the next day. I still seem to waste the leftover meal since I only like to eat leftovers once. I can now eat a whole small size burger but I remembered when I could only eat 1/3 then 1/2. I never eat french fries anymore since I try to focus only on the burger. Combos seems like a waste of money and food now. I am a thrift shopper and always looking for the best deal. Now I just pay the price for a single food Item on the menu so I don't waste the food. I'll admit I'm not your average weight loss patient. I went out on a limb and tried some of my favorite foods and found I could still eat them but now I enjoy tasting them and not devouring them. This surgery has changed the way I look at food and I love it. I'm still loosing weight but I told myself I'm in no hurry to be a size 7. I am currently down to 205 and in a size 16 pants. I am very happy with my results and I have told God if this is as good as it gets I am happy. But the scale keeps going down. LOL

I had the SADi a little less than 2 years ago and I eat whatever I want now. Yesterday I had a half pound blue cheese burger at a business lunch and had no issue eating the whole thing. I also picked at some of the appetizers but the burger was the meal for me.
Generally I eat smaller amounts all day long which adds up to about 3k calories a day. Calories don't really matter as much as nutrition.
I've been skinny as hell since about 11 months post surgery. It wasn't my goal but I'm ok with it now since I'm stable and healthy.

SweetMusik I am new to this as well. I am scheduled for surgery on Sept. 21st. Just wanted to say hi and good luck. I am in Burlington, but seeing Dr. Enochs in Cary.

I loaded up on Water every chance I got. I especially had difficulty in the evenings. That's when I ate sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. I remember giving them to my step son at bed time instead of Water when he was younger. It helped keep me from being so hungry. At least I had that in my stomach before I tried to go to sleep. The two week diet is the hardest. The one thing you have to keep reminding yourself is that it's only temporary. Sent from my Nexus 6P using the BariatricPal App
