Numbness in thighs
I had surgery this past mOnday. So I guess I have some time to go with the thigh business. I'm on whole liquids but I can't eat proton shakes so my diet consist of 64 grams of protein through cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. I'm hoping to get cleared for eggs on Tuesday. But the lack of flavor variety is starting to get to me. :)
I was a huge (literally) fan of pizza. Ate it almost every day and lots of it. About two weeks out, I had a bite of pizza and it tasted horrible. Horrible. In the lst 20 months, I've eaten maybe 10 slices of pizza. It just doesn't taste the same and it doesn't feel good to eat it. You'll be surprised how much your tastes change. Use this time to teach yourself good habits.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I am over 6 months out, and have 2 different spots on my stomach that I cant feel. The doctor said the feeling may never come back, which is fine with me, as those areas will be removed once I have my panni and tummy tuck!
As for the pizza - about 4 weeks out, and with a terrible stricture, I took a huge bite, chewed and chewed and chewed, and spit it out. I didnt swallow it, so it didnt hurt my pouch, but it satisfied the craving, and I didnt want it again for months. I dont really eat it anymore, although I have had a piece in the past - it made me sleep for about 3 hours. I now know what a "Carb Coma" is!!

i'm a huge fan of the cauliflower crust pizza. you may want to look into an alternative like that. my family makes personal pizzas using mini tortilla's
