I went to a party today for the first time post op and was able to feel like a normal person. There was a nice spread of finger foods. I put one little finger food item of the ones I thought I could eat on my plate, and really enjoyed nibbling on all of it over two hours while we watched a football game. I felt so normal and no knows I had the surgery! It was amazing. No pain, no burping, just fun! What a blessing!

Cajun -

Congratulations! Isn't it a great feeling to feel "normal" ?

Great job! I'm hoping to pull off similar feats at the round of holiday get togethers. It seems that when I'm socializing, I don't always remember to chew well enough and/or eat too fast because I'm not focused.

That is great, and an NSV as well! Congratulations.

YAY, it really is a great feeling ! ! !

That's so great Cajun!

Yes, it sure is!

Hi Cajun!

Congratulations on an accomplishment that alot of people take for granted!

I Don't ever think I will be "normal":lol0:but I love "fooling" people that I am!

Chancie -

Haven't you heard? The new "normal" is "abnormal" ... LOL

If that is the case, then I am as normal as they come!

Cajun: good for you. Glad you posted, I did not even think of this as a sleeve item.

I went to a birthday party this weekend. Had 3 bites of cake no icecream. No one cared.

THey were all happy to see me loosing weight. Everyone noticed it in my face! The people at this party all knew about my sleeve. These are the positive side of my family/friends. I will try with the "other" side over the holidays.

I do not know how Normal I felt? I was just glad to get it over with. Weird response huh?
