Just had my surgery

Hi Everyone. I would like to congratulate everyone who had had the WLS, and I wish everyone the best of luck. I just came home from the hospital on Tuesday after having my surgery on the March 18th. I was so nervous about coming home I couldn't believe it. I haven't been able to eat much, I feel very full and nauseous. I suppose that this is normal. I am scared of food. I don't want to harm my new pouch by eating too much and especially when I feel full all the time. It sounds so funny to be scared of food when for so many years food was a friend.

Congratulations Kimberly! Glad to hear your home and everything is well. You will be amazed at how quickly you will start to feel better. I too am still scared of food, but I need to start my pureed food today. The hardest part for me has been when the family sits down to eat. Things I never would have given a second thought to, now smell like necter from the Gods! My son had a cinamon raisen bagel and I thought he was going to have to fight me for it! Good luck on a speedy recovery!

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW WAY OF LIVING. I THINK IT IS NORMAL TO FEEL THIS WAY, CAUSE I DID 2. HOPE YOU HAVE A SPEEDY RECOVERY. MONIKA
