Post-Opp Peeps - what do you really miss?

[WeightlossWannabee]

I don't think I've read any post where people have regretted their surgery or feel that what they've been through hasn't been worth it. But, I'm just wondering what sacrifices have been made and what, if anything, people really miss (or crave, but can't have).
Thanks.

Suprisingly nothing - at the moment. I'm sure I'd like a glass of red at some point, but to be honest, I've not had cravings for anything that I couldn't eat.
The best thing is going shopping and feeling able to try clothes on other than M & S size 22!!

I'm three months on now and to date I've not found anything I crave for except for the occasional ciggy.

I have smelt bacon cooking and for a fleeting moment thought 'oooh that smells good', same with the doughnut van, but it was only fleeting.

Nothing If I fancy something I have it If i can tollerate it and at the mo I can eat anything (still dont like scarmbled egg) This morning for breakfast I have had bacon(just the rounds with all fat removed then grilled) with a couple of mushrooms some tinned toms with grated cheese melted in them was well yummy

Things I miss.....Where to start

Pepsi max 3 to 4 litres a day
Pizza (Family size)
Chinese food
Anything (And I do mean anything) from Kongs chippy in Flixton
Three course meals (The finishing of)
Chocolate
Cakes
Crusty bread with half a pound of cheese
Fried breakfasts
Sweets
Ice cream
Pizza (I like pizza)
Gulping down drinks when thirsty
Poppadoms
Did I mention Pizza
Voltarol tablets for my knees

Do I regret having WLS? If I'm being honest some days for a fleeting moment I do.

In the main though it has given me a chance of life I would not have had without it. It has saved my life and improved the lives of my family who no longer worry that I'm going to die every time I leave the house.

They no longer have to feel shame or embarrassment at the comments and stares of people in the street, and that is good.

It is a new chance and despite the inherent sacrifices, one that I will not fail to take.

Oh I will too...that I am worried about. I do stick to rules so will stay away from it but me and diet coke go way back!

Karlos,

Have you not been able to have pizza at all? I mean like one slice with a salad?

Because the only thing I think I am going to miss is pizza

It was my downfall Hayley, I was 12 stone until Ginos dial a Pizza opened up a shop in Sale So with chips etc it is a food I cannot risk getting back into.

I figure the NHS have invested £15 grand or so to give me a chance to be healthy again, so I have to do my bit.

If giving up the stuff that got me into the Super Morbidly Obese club is my investment so be it hun xxx

Got to be a big roast dinner with all the trimmings for me!

 

[leedsjeff]

seems we all like the diet coke/pepsi i also drink 3 ltra day if i didnt i would just eat all time going to save a fortune on pop lol

 

[thinkbethin]

I don't miss or crave anything really. If I fancy something I have it but alot less than I would have had pre op. Two or three squares of chocolate instead of a family size bar. A small glass of diet coke/pepsi instead of a two litre bottle etc. They say a little of what you fancy does you good lolx

Hi, WL18S,
What happens when you eat spicy food? How does your body react?
