In terms of things in which you imbibed.

I miss wine. I went to happy hour, had Blue Sapphire and Tonic and got 3 tiny sips in. Felt like I drank acid and the tonic was flat. Pretty sure it was the gin.

Also miss class craft beer.

Oh well, fitting into my pants makes up for it. Lol

What drinks/foods do you miss?

Fortunately, I can eat or drink a few sips of most everything, but I miss being able to eat a normal meal like a normal person. It's a little awkward when I'm the only one not eating and very few people know I've had the surgery. I also miss being able to grab a quick meal. Tonight I'm sitting at my desk trying to choke down a chicken sandwich and it's a little frustrating that I've had maybe 1/8 of it and while I feel hungry, I'm also starting to feel sick, which is generally what happens when I eat more than I should. Sometimes I miss being normal, but then i look in the mirror and I see a girl who is now very normal and I wouldn't trade that for a little bit of food.

Two words. DIET.COKE.

So far nothing. I haven't tried alcohol or strangely enough ice cream, but I also haven't had a desire for them yet.

One word Lattes!!!

So far, at six months post op, the only thing I miss is being able to chug down a whole bottle of water quickly. Now it's sips and my new sleeve doesn't like plain water. I miss plain water.

I can dig it. I was a Dt. Pepsi addict.

I miss that too and it's a habit I am still struggling with everyday. I stay hydrated so it's a bad habit.

I think that's the great thing about WLS; tastes changes. I have had b-day cake, candy, cookies but one polite nibble and that was more than enough. It just doesn't taste right and I don't crave any of it. Chalk one more thing up to eating well/right. .....& exercise.

As I type this my hubby is laughing at me because he never thought he'd see the day these things would come out of my mouth.
