Memorial Day Meal - Sunday

Yesterday was a great day for me as I celebrated with my family and I really felt that I was back to being the person I used to be and being the new me at the same time. I was and have always been the only cook for Holidays . Christmas, Fourth of July, Easter I did it all, but since my surgery last year I haven't taken part of any of it until yesterday. I cooked Ribeyes, Smoked Chicken / Salmon ,Roasted Corn on the Cob and baked Sugar Free Apple Pie. I did it with very little Grazing and had a wonderful time. Late in the afternoon I even drank a Margaritta. I ate a little of everything probably more than I should but compared to my old self virtually nothing and I was the happiest I been in some time. I've read many posts recently of when will I eat real foods again. For you guys take heart the day will come sooner than later. Get well! Let your body and mind heal and things will work out. Good Luck Don't forget our present and past troops and God Bless America!!!!!!

COngratulations!  SOunds like you joined the party instead of joining the food! CB

That is what I call living life like it was meant to be lived.  I am about 3 months post op and I finally feel like I am returning to my old self in terms of being with my family at meals and diner outings.  I, like you stated, eat no where near like I used to.  I am very satisfied with eating a little bit of everything and not eating piles of food like I used to.  Life for me is great at this point and I wouldn't change a thing other than I should of had this surgery years ago, which I am sure many guys would feel the same way.  Have a great weekend guys.
