20 Questions

I took this from the GA board. You know those twenty question emails that circulate that ask "chocolate or vanilla" or "what's your favorite holiday" so that you can get to know the sender better? Well, I want to do a WLS food related one. Please copy and paste the questions and then answer! We pre-op's would love to know! Short answers, please. 1. What is your favorite protein source post-op? 2. What was your "last meal" pre-op? 3. On a scale of 1-10 (ten being HARD), how hard is it to deal with "head hunger" post op? 4. What do you dump on? (if you dump) 5. If your tastes have changed post-op, how have they changed? 6. If you crave sweets post-op, how do you satiate that craving? 7. What kind of pre-op diet did you have to do? (2 weeks liquid, 1 week liquid, no pre-op diet, etc) 8. How do you handle eating out in restaurants? (what do you order?) 9. Has your spouses/ significant others eating habits changed since your surgery? If so, how? 10. How do you take your vitamins: chewed, swallowed whole, or crushed in food? (post-op question) Thanks!
