What do you love after your surgery?

what i love most since surgery is being able to eat like a "normal" person and not gain weight.

I had to try skim milk, soy milk and then finally I tried lactaid/lactose free fat free milk and I tolerated that great.  I used sugar free carnation instant breakfast, some of the shake mixes were too strong tasting, I added more milk to the mix and sip on it over a length of time (my taste buds have totally changed).  I had problems after surgery with getting dehydrated and having low potassium, but thats fixed now.
1.  Same as you, I love not having cravings but the only thing I have craved was pickles and that   
      is over.
2.  I love being able to walk at a faster pace and being able to talk without being out of breathe.
     (tried a 5 k walk this past sunday, made it to the 1/2 mile point and had to turn back because
      of my back, but I loved walking every minute of it.)
3.  Sounds crazy but my out look on life is different, i feel more motivated to do things in my life
     that I want, not because my size limits me.
