Im so affraid to miss food. I love cooking and the last two weeks of cooking for my family and not eating have sucked. I love spicy and i hear that we cant have spicy food.
Dose anyone know if humber river hospital as wifi in the rooms?
Any suggestions on what i should buy now for after surgery any advise atall would be great thanks

I feel the same way about food - I love to cook and eat and it still worries me sometimes.  My doctor told me not to worry because after the surgery my taste in food will change but that I won't care as I will not crave them like I do now.  Which will be great because my cravings are very very strong sometimes. I actually posted last week on this very topic and got some great feedback:

I have been looking at this website called "Bariatric Foodie" and it has been helpful in that I can see that you can still be a foodie after gastric bypass.  Here is the link if you are interested: http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.ca/

I you an excellent surgical experience!

All the best to you - you'll be fine. :)

I think make sure you have comfy PJ's and clean, fresh sheets on your bed and pillow for when you get home~ Nothing beats a cozy space to rest yourself down in!  :)

Make sure you have the  food items you need for the first week ready in the fridge/freezer.

I am a big hot sauce gal ... that is another question I will have to ask the surgeon next week ... :)

That occurred to me as well, I always considered myself a real foodie.  What I was was a real glutton!  If you experience something like myself you will find your tastes change and in a huge way!  I used eat hot food to the point where I was sweating so much I needed a shower to cool off.  Now I would never think of doing such a thing.  I used to crave spice and sugar, now sugar makes me want to gag, spice I still like but flavour, not heat.  But I do crave salt, which I was never a big fan of before (some folks here have said its my body telling me I need more salt, could be I don't know).  

I recommend you not stock up too much on anything, as you don't really know in which direction your new pouch will take you.  You should have found a protein powder, both unflavored for adding to food and if you're making smoothies at home a vanilla or a prepackaged brand if that's the way you want to go.  And a broth you like, low in sodium and fat, high in taste (I like the PC blue menu ones).  

Enjoy the ride!  

It's almost time....good luck!
