It Friday ..let's ***** about life after we had WLS.. what don't you like about it?

like with wine - taste and spit it out....lol..

Napkins are good for that..

The day I don't swallow the wine you can give me an award! 

But I have to say the other day friends handed me a delicious artisanal blue tequila and knowing I had to drive - I tasted it and gave the rest to a homeless guy . 

He was smacking his lips lol as I drove away ! 

This is very sad. I had a matron of cake and she went with me and tried the cakes. We had a different cake at each table and a pie table too. People sat at the table with the cake they liked best. Then people would move around to eat different cake. My matron ate a lot of cake. She loved it.

#1 is the weight loss was the final nail in the coffin for my gallbadder. Once I had it out my digestive system cannot tolerate any fat at all. It would have eventually happened anyway, but damn...

It took me a few years but now I can eat more fat than ever before. I lost my GB app 8 years ago. 

Some type of fat gives me nausea. But other - I can eat a lot. 

I consider my body's intolerance of fat a very lucky thing. I get to eat fat free healthy carbs with impunity and basically suffer very little and slow regain. 

I take flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil to reduce fat cravings and give my body the specific fat it needs for cell regeneration. 

Sometimes I can stomach guacamole and I try to eat that when I can also I throw a 1/4 of fresh nuts into some stir fries and warm salads. 

I'll search for a new place to eat and read the menu. I'll be all excited. Go there and the food comes out and you eat 2 bites and know that you are done.

That part I hate. Just as I really start enjoying my diner out - I have to stop eating. Often after a few bites. 

And no drink either. Or dessert.  And I have to watch everyone else loving their food ...And I need to pretend that it is not bothering me.... 

I hear you on that!  Summer before last we did a hooky day and went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  Everything smelled so good and I leaned over to John and said, "It's times like this that I wish i had my old stomach!"  Just for like, 15 minutes, you know?  I will confess that I did get deep fried oreos on the way out and I ate one.  It was delicious, but I don't feel the need to have another one!
