I am 2 weeks post op. I went to a renaissance fair yesterday. I thought it would be difficult being around all of that yummy food, however I just kept thinking "wow those portions are so huge" the ironic thing is before surgery that was a normal size to me. The most difficult thing for me to pass up was the pickles. I had no problem watching people walk by with plates piled high with cheese frys or huge waffle cones with 5 scoops of ice cream. I swear there was a pickle stand around every corner. I also notice when people post recipes like tomatoes cucumbers and balsamic dressing my mouth starts to water. What is wrong with me? I love it, however I'll love it even more when I'm able to eat those healthy fares :-)

Excited to hear your thinking about healthy foods, even if you can't eat them yet. I love colorful fruits and veggies, I just can't eat that many.

I was sleeved 7/26/12 and my mom and I was just saying when the renaissance festival come

We would save money becuz we won't be able to eat all that delicious food. I won't deprive my self but we will be splitting food 3 ways. Mom was sleeved 8/9/12

Oh that is so awesome you have your mom to go through this with. Good luck to you both, and have fun at the renaissance fest :-)

I was just reading an article on fair foods. and it was saying that one turkey leg has more than 1300 calories and the fat content would choke you. before I read this I would have gone straight for that healthy turkey.

i remember with weight watchers - veggies were free, fruit you could eat a large variety. - yum to all that good stuff- miss that

all the good food we eat is great - i miss veggies & fruit - we can have a little bit of "something" but not much

boo hoo

PS hi dorrie, haven't seen you lately or are you to thin - nice to see you

It's frustrating! By the time I eat my Protein, I can have 2 blueberries! That's on a good day!
