Welcome to the losers side. I am two months out and have lost 40 lbs.

Woohoo Rebecca!!! Way to go and congratulations!! Keep us posted on how you're doing ok?! Hugz, Cathy

Glad to hear everything went well. I remember feeling like I made a mistake about 2 weeks post-op. I was getting hungry at that time and couldn't eat food yet. Once I could start on some soft foods I was ok. I think food is such an important part of peoples lives that it is normal to feel a loss. There are days when I wish I could be normal again and eat a big meal out with friends. That feeling does pass and you realize how good you feel and how loose your clothes fit now- and it is ok. It seems like these days happen about 1 out of 10 days- usually when I have had a busy tiring day and I am sitting down to watch t.v. and of course food is everywhere. Sorry this was windy!!!!! Take care! Julie
