let's just do a random...."what do you miss most pre surgery?"

i know what you mean i have taken a few big drinks by mistake........ouch

Pasta - oh my. Olive garden, stuffed mushrooms, salad, breadsticks and pasta and tirimisu for dessert.

Pam Olive Garden is my oldest son favorite place to eat.......i was trying to think the other day what i could eat there.....he is getting ready to go off to college and i would like to take him on a mother/son date before he leaves.......

I miss drinking out of a straw... especially anice cold..ice filled....cup with diet coke and a STRAW! I just keep telling myself how good I am going to look! Beth

good question Crystal. I think I just miss the socializing we did with food. I'm still not hungry so even though I have some cravings now and then I'm realizing how much we did that revolved around food. Good to deal with now while I'm not that hungry. So, I'm not missing it yet, I'm just stunned by how often I used to eat. Was never really aware of it before.

Judi, I know I think my whole social life revolved around food also......and omg didn't realize how much i did eat before either........now i can't even seem to get in 4 bites let alone a 1/4 cup......i guess i shouldn't complain........because it probably won't be long and i will be eating and thinking too bad i don't feel like i didn't when i first had this done.lol.........

I miss the time Dh and I use to spend in the kitchen preparing huge meals. He loves to cook with me and now I try to help but its not the same cooking for just one. I also miss my Dr Pepper! oh and Cheesecake! those were my weakness before surgery!

I ALWAYS had a can of diet dr.pepper in my hand girl..........so that's what we have in common we are peppers....LOL my daughter loves cheesecake she made one friday night......stinking kid of mine...LOL...luckily i was never a fan of that though.......

Oh, I miss not having to think about what to eat, or having to scope out the bathroom before I ate. But since everyone else posted a food they miss, here's mine - since it's summertime, I miss fried tomato sandwiches. I also miss hotdogs off the grill, salads and Italian hoagies. I could go on for days, but these are the things I've been dreaming about for the past month or so. As for sweets, I never thought it would happen to me - but I really can't stand them - which is why I'm having trouble getting in my proteins. One thing that gives me hope is the people I've spoken to who are a year out from surgery and they say they eat pretty much what they want - just smaller portions. take care everyone and God bless, briggie

Bridgette, i too miss the salads.........you crack me up about the you could go on for days..LOL....i hear ya there......
