I am pre-op, but I will agree. I have a friend who had the surgery about 3 months ago (not through Kaiser) and less than a week post-op she was eating PIZZA!!! Now of course she is starting to be disappointed in her loss. Well HELLO?? eating pizza is not what all this was for!

You said it ! The "honeymoon" period is the easy part. As any long-term "Postie" will tell you, maintenance is the hard part!Never forget that the surgery is done with a scalpel and not a magic wand, and that it's done on our stomachs, not our brains (or hearts) so you must find a way to conquor the "head hunger" issues.Uncle Timmy -240> > Hi all,> > Well I am finally finished with all my pre-op appointments and > labs.> > Now I still have to wait until the 11th.
