Ya Know What I Miss?

Sure I miss pizza once in a while for only a moment or two. I also miss eating a juicy thick steak, but it passes. What I really, really miss is being able to belch one of those really big, straight up from the toes, soul satisfying burps. Especially when I've got that trapped air chest pain. What's with this little pffft of air that comes out? This is so not like me. You'd almost think I was lady-like. lol Connie

I miss pizza. OMG how i miss pizza.

What i miss the most is being able to chug a glass of water or bottle of propel like I used to do pre-op....ehhh....stupid "sips"...hahaha let's see if I'm still complaining when I am thin, and HAPPY!! LOL!! w/love Annie

I miss not wondering if the toilet I going to use will allow me to wipe my fat ass. I miss the lower leg swelling, and getting winded from walking too far, which really wasn't too far. I miss the back pain and not being able to stand for too long. NOT!!!!!!! Or sure, I miss things, but I'm loving everything I'm getting back. My wife laughed the other day because she came home and I was sitting with my legs crossed. Haven't done that for years. And since the weather has been nice, I have been going on family bike rides with my three daughters. Sure I miss Pizza, but what I getting back it much better. Steak, I have to go with you on. And I too miss being thirsty and being able to guzzle a bottle of water to quench my thrist. But, again there is a price to be paid, and I loving it.

Good perspective, Ken!!! I will be glad when I get to add back in salads though--never thought I would miss them!!! Joy -32 lbs (Not missing any of those!)

Hi Annie, I hope this note finds you well and healthy! The March 2004 Board needs your help. Please go to the Board and read the post, AND THE SURVEY SAYS, and PLEASE respond to it by answering the few questions. We really need to hear from you. Thank you! Maureen

That's too funny when I read your title all I could think of was PIZZA!!! I broke down and bought a slice to take a bite and chew it and spit it out the other day and all i got to say is NOT a good idea....I dumped from the grease! And for some reason it didn't taste as good as I was inticipatin...then again nothing does!

Funny you should mention this particular topic. Today was my first post op and my DH asked the doc how I can burp up THAT MUCH! Doc sweetly told him that even though my tummy is tiny I will have some extra gas because he rerouted my intestine so some of the 'air' will come from down 'below'. So then I told my dh it's not my fault, he hasta blame the doc. I miss PIZZA though! Gayle Queen Of Yarn Balls 320/297/175

I really missed yams with miniature potato topping like our family has every holiday. I felt so bad when I couldn't eat them at easter. But my sweet daughter told me they tasted lousy this year and that my sister put too much butter in them, which made them gross. I dont know if she was serious or not, but it helped me at the time! -Sherrie

Was this the same daughter who was mad over not getting candy in her basket???
