Eat how you wish!

Dear Meghan, You will still be able to enjoy food after your surgery!!! I

absolutely love to cook, always have and always will. I revel in my cooking

still to this day, even more so than before. Now I am more selective and I

enjoy every bite and morsel. You'll be surprised at how your taste buds

will change after surgery. in Mo. MGB 1 10 2000/ down 82 lbs.

Hi, Folks,

As some of you may know, I am at the beginning stages of achieving

surgical bliss with the dashing, courageous, and utterly

inspirational

Dr. Rutledge, whom is widely misunderstood by his peers, whom seem to

me to be jealous they were not so pioneering! (Maybe if he charged

twice as much for the procedure they wouldn't be so mad at him!)

Translation: I am now addicted to this damned message board, chat,

and

the world of Gastric Bypass in general. And, after much agonizing and

scrutinizing, have decided to have the MGB. I have sent in my patient

info form, Dr. R has sent the requisite letter to my insurance

company, and I now await pre-certification. (I should hear tomorrow).

Meanwhile, I can't help but look at every bite of delicious food (and

there are many), like I were never to see it again. I savour each and

every morsel (did I mention that there were many?), as it if it were

my last, knowing that in just a few weeks, if the insurance gods are

kind, that I will be consuming a liquid diet for 2 months. Oh, don't

pity me, for I gladly look forward to the meals one can suck through

a

plastic straw if it means that someday in the next year I might

discover a whole new world of off-the-rack clothing purchases, lower

grocery bills, and most importantly, a body which will serve me for

many healthy decades to come.

So, bring on the Nacho Cheese Doritos, the ribeye steaks with loaded

baked potatoes... I will eat whatever I want for now... after the

surgery I will eat what I wish-- and, what I wish is to be healthy!

With hopes for health,

Meghan
