A Valentine Question
We all know February 14, is Valentines Day. We all had surgery a over a year. I would like to ask what might be different on that day since your surgery? I know all of you will say sex with your partner is monumental. Unfortunately, this is not the Sex after Surgery Message Board. What are some negative and positive things that will be different this time? I would like to share some with you my support familia (family). Good: I can go to dinner to any place I want and find a place to sit. I have more variety to eat than last year. Our surgery was just over 6 months and my stomach was adapting to a new eating system. I can use a red shirt and not look like a huge tomatoe. Last, I can huge people without them being afraid of being crushed. Bad: It is difficult for me to go to an elegent expensive restaurant because our stomachs can't eat that much. I end up giving away all the chocolates I get for Valentines day. I know it is ok to have some once in a while, but I have gotten used to not having any. The same goes for alcohol drinks. Before, I could have as much drinks as I wanted, now I might have one or two tops. I have read many surgery people that are back to normal drinking. I also know they try to drink wisely about the sugar and carbs. I praise them. I personally lost the taste for it since I stopped in order to lose weight and because the Doc said so because of my surgery. Don't get me wrong I would never change those days for my new body today. I will make the best of it and enjoy that day. There are way more positives than negatives. I made a commitment to living than dying young because of my obesity. Last I would love to say Happy Valentines Day in how you decide to celebrate it. Thanks for sharing and God bless your souls
