Im 5 weeks out went to lunch with co workers and had a chicken breast sandwich no chesse no mayo well toasted bread had 4 small bites but atleast i felt normal a regular bussiness day i never thought this day would come finally life is getting back to normal well my new normal.. I love it i feel so great... So for everyone in the early stages be patient its worth it .. I can go up a flight of stairs without losing my breathe... God is good

Thanks for the story...gives me hope that normal life will return soon enough. Especially as I sit hear listening to my family prepare dinner as I get my cup of jello.

Yeahhhh! Im so scared of bread...

Normal new life will come i felt like it would never happen.. My girlfriend is philipino and hawaian all she does is cook it was hard and still is... For anyone that says this is an easy out they r so wrong hardest thing i ever did but soooooo worth it.... And for the bread i had the toast it extra crunchy and i did find juss chewed it really well my dr said its fine i dont do bread very often mostly juss protien...

Nice. I told my family today that all I want is a cracker. Sad when that's what I'm looking forward to.

I know alot of it is the mental hunger talking but I also just want to feel normal NOW. I keep looking at the photos of people and reading as much as possible. Thanks for the encouragement.

I can't eat bread at all. Lucky you.

I'm 5 months out and still don't eat bread. I don't even miss it. Life gets back to normal. I go out with friends and family. I just plan ahead and remember how far I've come that I don't want to go back

Are you over vomiting? Can you eat more then 4 bites? Do you eat fruits & vegetables? How's your blood work? Any Vitamins? Did you reach goal weight? Have you had alcohol yet?

It is a great feeling that you can eat something and maintain control so easily. I am 4 months post op and afraid to eat certain things But generally I eat normal food that is low or fat free and healthy foods.

I never drank so no alcohol anyways. Yup fruits and veggies at this stage are encouraged. Over the vomiting too.

Congratulations nann and thanks so much for sharing. As you can tell from some of the responses, posts like yours are so important. I'm coming up on eleven months out and I still get excited about folks like yourself that are discovering a whole new you! Well done!!
