I'm in my 8th week post op, and I feel so great! I had a DS and I am sooooo extrememly happy with my choice! My life feels normal - I eat normal... NORMAL!!!! Not like a fat person...but NORMAL!!!! My weight is melting away and I'm eating NORMALLY!!!! Sorry for going on and on, but this just feels like a miracle to me! I just can't get over it! Yesterday I had 1 1/2 scrambled eggs and a piece of WW toast for breakfast, for snack I had ham rolled around a stick of string cheese, for lunch I had an entire chicken breast from KFC and some cole slaw and a couple bites of mac & cheese, then I had 2/3 cup of egg salad for afternoon snack and for supper I ate 1/2 of a New York Strip steak cooked medium, 1/4 of a baked potatoe with butter AND sour cream and a few green beans. Then last night I had homemade ice cream - twice! I just feel like doing the happy dance ALL the time! Who else in FL has had the DS? Are you as happy as I am? Does this euphoria continue for ever and ever?

There are a couple of us DS'ers in Florida. Red

Oct 10th,2006 was my lap/gastric bypass, and like you, I can eat anything but in moderation,,not because I want to stop eating but because I feel full quickly, and it sounds like you eat more than me,, you know what I was scared to eat much of but know I eat it ok,, is fruit,, like pieces of watermelon and grapes, pineapples etc; I've lost 43 lbs so far,, it's a lovely thing,, can't wait to be under 200
