Other than being a slow loser, I average 2 # a week. I seem to have no issues eating anything. Now I don't eat too much

but at Christmas I ate fudge once a day for 3 days. No problem. Yesterday I ate two Cookies & milk. No dumping but I did feel uncomforbably full. Don't plan on keeping this up. The fudge was in my house of 7 days before I ever even ate one

piece. So evidently for now, I don't dump on sweet things. I also stop at a reasonable serving but feel like I could eat like a normal person. I've ate turkey chili, beef chili, ham, bacon, pork roast. Only thing I haven't tried (which I love

is steak). I can drink like a normal person, I don't have to sip.

I'm just curious if anyone else is like me? I realize just because I can eat it does not mean I should eat it. I will

also admit for the first 3 weeks after surgery I had buyers remorse. I just feel like I'm in the minority. I don't know

if it's a blessing or a curse! I had started exercisig but slacked off over the holidays, I plan to get back on track as

of today.

I had very good pre surgery support and decent support now except for nutritionist. She is almost impossible to get an

appointment with.

I am 2 weeks out and on purees and soft foods and I don't have trouble eating some foods other patients day they have trouble with. I do not eat any sweets or carbs and I eat very small portions. So I guess everyone's different. If the scale is moving I wouldn't worry about it.

I can eat pretty much anything, too ,unfortunately! I wish that weren't the case. I don't have to sip water either. And my weight loss has completely slowed down. Sigh.

I am two weeks out, on purees, though I don't puree, I just chew a thousand times. ..lol. Nothing I have ate has made me dump either. I haven't tried sweets, or high residue fats, because I'm way too scared. But so far, I'm doing surprisingly well. I am still craving sweets, and bad foods, and I have some foods that the smell or taste trigger an intense craving for Soda, but I am holding strong.

Costalchick I am right there with you actually... I chew chew chew!! But for some strange reason soda is a crazy craving right now but no way I am not even gonna touch it! No sweets for me either. So far so good ...

I am the same way. I had my surgery on the 16th and I haven't had any issues. No nausea, vomiting, no uncomfortable full feeling, and no dumping. I stay away from sweets - get that in with my shakes. Some days I worry that since I had a band before I had already stretched out my pouch. I just keep measuring all my food out and not eating any more than they recommend at one time. I have noticed today I was also starting to get hungry, which I was hoping would not be the case. I haven't lost in a couple of days, but I also tend to redistribute weight when I start working out and I put on muscle like crazy. I think it is different for everyone. Similar procedure, completely different experience. Lets all just rock it in our own way.

My surgery date was nov 3 2014 what was yours?

My surgery was 10/22/14. So now I'm at almost 12 weeks. I ate 3 oz of T bone today, with no problem what so ever! I ate some tostitoe type chips yesterday with rotel, no problem...

That's great.. I've lost 40 lbs wondering if that's just right or under .. How much have u lost?

I am 5 weeks out and can also eat anything and drink water normally. I did eat a chocolate chip cookie on ,y birthday and no dumping, I am however losing incredibly slow. Only 17 pounds and have been stalled for 3 weeks. Am concerned my pouch is stretched already? I can even drink when eating without a problem. I also crave Diet Cole so bad, I was a HUGE addict pre surgery, but have stayed strong and not touched it. It's really my only craving.
