Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 Well hello gang! I haven't posted often but I read your posts daily. I thought that it was time that I told some of my tale of after the MGB. . .. . . It's been five weeks now since surgery, and I couldn't feel more wonderful. I have the impression that I will be feeling better as time goes on, but for now it's been great. Today was the first time that I had built up the nerves to get on the scale, but it was soooo worth it. Even after a day of Thanksgiving dinner with my family, I've still managed to lose 37 pounds. I can't say how excited I was. I haven't taken any of my diabetic medication since surgery and I must say that I feel that I don't need it at all. I normally experienced migraines at least every other day before surgery and now I don't remember having even one since surgery. I've experienced pretty much everything as far as food goes. I still haven't been to any of the fast food joints though. I tried Boston Market once and that had me on the side of the highway throwing it all back up, so needless to say I haven't tried that anymore. I mainly eat different pastas, grits and mashed potatoes. My meats have been baked fish, chicken breasts, pork chops (once) and steak (once). I can't eat more than one slice of bread in a day. Before surgery I thought that those first two weeks of broth and crackers would be a breeze. Boy was I wrong! Those were the hardest two weeks of my life I think. But nonetheless I made it through. I must say that this holiday dinner was the hardest one I've had yet. My mother bakes cakes and pies like you wouldn't believe. She baked four home-made red velvet cakes and about ten sweet potato pies. I was so used to eating a couple slices of cake and taking home a whole pie, that this year when I got ready to leave my moms house my bags were so much lighter. No cakes or pies packed away. I felt really good knowing that I wouldn't eat a whole cake within a few days. Anyway, let me end this by saying that at this time in my life, I feel wonderful. I'm glad that I found this tool while I'm still young, so that I can live out the rest of my 20's and the rest of my life in pure bliss. Thanks to all that kept me encouraged through the starting process, and I'll try to post more often. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me anytime. mzrite@...
