So glad to hear that! That’s amazing. I’m following all rules. Just can wait to atleast bite into something. Even if it’s 1scramble egg lol glad we found each other. Hope we can stay in touch.

Yea, I couldn't wait to actually sink my teeth into something. I heard of some people chewing ice cubes to help with that, but i have noticed cold liquids still upset my stomach, so I never tried ice cubes. Yes, let's stay in touch!

Hi Julia!
I just had surgery last Friday (sleeve with Dr. Friedman). Haven’t met with the NP yet. Good experience so far. Are you happy with your decision? And how are you feeling?

Congrats! I hope you are feeling well and recovering fast. I think I am happy with my decision. I am still trying to get over the food addiction so its been tough a lot. Still trying to work our some kinks (i have GOT to stop drinking so fast!), but I am happy with the results. I am off of all my medications (was taking 5 different meds before surgery) and have noticed I can do things I couldn't do before. I am actually no longer scared to go on walks with people because I know I can do it and wont have to make up an excuse to stop for a rest!

Yes, I had surgery (RNY) with Dr. Friedman at Shands very recently. I thought he was very good. Not a huge fan of the Nurse Practitioner, but everyone else is wonderful. The nutritionist is great.
