Thank GAWD I'm not alone! I can eat regular foods (I also had to start eating slow..depending on what it is. It can take me about 45 minutes 2 eat!) I just can't eat in abundance. Now, I do have a problem with sugar, so I avoid it at all cost. I use a sugar substitue or nothing at all. But thank u sooooooo much for your input, I needed to hear dat I am not abnormal as far as eating goes!

I can really eat just about anything I want. I try to avoid eating too much bread, so I pick most of it off of my sandwiches. I also try to avoid sugar, but when I have had it, I didn't have a problem. I have eaten some red velvet cake with a very small amount of icing on it, and I have had a piece of a giant chocolate chip cookie with icing on it. I try to get protein in first when I eat, but I tend to gravitate towards carbs. I did get kind of nauseous when I ate some italian beef, but I had eaten really fast. I do have a problem eating too fast. I don't know what it will take for me to be able to eat as slowly as I need to. Does anyone have a suggestion for eating slowly?

Hi all! This is my first time posting on this forum, so HI! Now, on to business I had surgery september 10th. I don't know how much I've lost because I refuse to buy a scale. I know myself and I KNOW ill freak at every pound NOT lost. So until my 3 months visit, I won't know..but anyway my question is, what are u guys able to honestly eat, now? I can eat anything that I want(well truthfully, I haven't ventured out much food wise). But I'm just curious as to what u all can eat? Does it seem like before, just n smaller portions? Or are u really restricted now? I'm curious, fill me in!

I think we are all in the same boat, I think I messed mine up to!

I find that now I can take much larger drinks of water than at the beginning can everyone else do this now. My doctor said no to the straw in the beginning but ok now. Kim
