What I miss

I am three weeks out and I'm finding that what I miss more than any specific food is carbonated drinks. Even just seltzer, I'm really missing that.

I'm also really missing sushi

What are you missing the most

      I'm three years out and I don't miss anything. I think I used to miss drinking with meals, but not anymore. I especially DO NOT miss obesity and all things associated with it. Such a good trade-off f

    I did NOT drink soda (always diet pre and post op) until my surgeon cleared me. To this date, I stir a bit of the carbonation out and I prefer it over ice to Water it down a bit. I don't drink nearly as much as I used to, maybe a can a day or so and a 2liter lasts well over a week.

    It bothers me if I drink it too fast, so I sip it through a straw. If it hurts, I stop. It's just a burp but I prefer not to feel that bloated feeling.

    I am almost 2.5 years out.

    I am only 10 days out and I miss everything! I'm a huge food addict and am working on freeing myself with this "reset" of my system. I'd kill for some fries with lots of salt and ketchup. Just being real. I won't have them but that is where my head is at right now. The mental transformation I know will be the hardest. Right now I am looking forward to eating some actual food so my body feels a little more satisfied.

    Hang in there. Once you starting eating food, you will get full so fast on your Protein and vegetables you won't want anything else. During my first couple of weeks I never felt "full" because of all the nerves in my stomach being cut and just the healing process. But when you start to eat, it's totally different. And you'll find new, healthy foods you love!
