I was 4 mos. post op on May 5th. Have lost 98 lbs and feeling great. Cannot eat eggs of any kind, chicken and turkey are not my friends but I have no problem with beef, figures. I eat cottage cheese, l/f mozarella cheese sticks, quesadillas, lots of salad with cheese. I do not eat anything with sugar because I am afraid that I will not dump and become addicted to the sugar, past failures. Try to get my protein in first, losing my hair, but I have lots of hair, mostly losing it in the front of my head, so I keep it short and is easier to curl and hide the thinning spots. Only take 1 Celebrex daily instead of 2 pre-op, no hormones at all, was taking them before surgery. When I think I want something crunchy, I eat Special K cereal without milk, satisfies that desire and is low cal. Am more active and feel better than I have in 20 years, not on any exercise program as my arthritis in my knees is a problem, but am more active, have been going with hubby sailing. I AM LOVING LIFE. Yes I am shouting it!! Because it is very true!!! I am Happy, happy, happy. So glad I had WLS!!!
