I had my surgery on 7/24. Since then I no longer want pop ( I used to easily

drink 4-6 cans aday), I no longer have any interest in chocolate or

candy...(I never was a big candy eater but if I saw it I'd eat it...LOL), I

crave protein, find myself eating things normally I wouldn't. I believe now

that when people say your tastes will change they do...and when you only have

a little room...and since you're doing surgery to save yourself, you work

really hard to fill up on the protein.... You'll lose...don't stress about

it...

What a great goal!!! Isn't nice to now feel like at least you have a shot at

living that long...???? I used to think I'd be lucky to hit 45. Now I feel

like I'm going to live to be a great grandma to my grandkids....its

wonderful!!

Here's another message that came in today from Kathy that was apparently

meant for this list.

question

Hi everyone

I am going for the switch in Sept. I'm so afraid it

is not going to work for me. Does everyone loss

weight? I know I have to do may part and change my

eatting but what if I can't I have not been able to

change them so far or I would not need surgery. Family

and friend had been throwing this questions my way so

I am asking for advice from those who have had

surgery.

I can tell you that this surgery is saving my life. Already, I am healthier

and happier. I am more mobile. The future seems limitless. Can't ask for

better than that.
