My post op favorites: sf popsicles, sf jello, sf pudding with whey protein powder mixed in, CREAM OF WHEAT, and mashed potatoes. Yummers...

And yea....start designing your ticker!!! (have your DW update us!)

Hugs and best wishes!

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Topic: RE: Eating Everything in Site!
Hey there Queenie,
I remember around this time last year planning my last supper and thinking about foods I'll never be able to eat again. Well like Helen said, you'll be able to eat any food post-op, just much smaller amounts... and in graduated steps. Some docs say no milk... no bread/pasta/rice/potatoes... well you'll find that you will be able to eat those things, but maybe just a bite instead of a 1/2 cup serving, and the power that food item once had over you won't be there any longer. For me it was cookies- but since I'm a dumper, any high sugar food makes me feel so awful that I don't get that same enjoyment from sweets that I used to. I'm so thankful for that!

All said, having a "last supper" was a great moment of closure for me and my dysfunctional relationship with food, and it opened doors to a healthier, 147lb lighter, brand new me. I couldn't be more thankful!

High blood pressure and Diabetes---that's all I know for sure.... I'm sure there are others, but still --- obesity --- is a growing problem and we need to educate others as much as we can. Sad to say, there are casualties... Kelly
