Things Im Missing - 3 Months Post Op

So today is my 3 month anniversary - cant believe its been 3 months!

Everyday seems to get better - sounds so corny right?!  But its trooooo!

Im beginning to learn how much i can realisticly eat for my meal times, so it seems to work well when i go out to eat.  For those wondering if you'll ever be able to eat out socially again, yes you will.  Yesterday i went to a BBQ and had a lamb kebab skewer, a mini pakora and a burger (no bun just the meat) - and everyone else was eating and no one really noticed how little i had!  A couple of hours later i went back for another mini pakora!  I also went to an Italian a couple of weeks ago and ordered meatballs for starter, then i ordered anoher starter to come as my main (fishcake).  Everything felt normal, so have no fear!

One thing i really do miss, is being able to drink while eating.  I have always done it so i am still struggling with not drinking argh!  Im sure it will become second nature eventually.  I was advised to wait 15mins after drinking before eating, and to also wait 30mins after eating to drink - it very much annoys me but the advice is spot on!  I also miss being able to guzzle my drinks down!!  Sooo, the only negatives ive encountered so far are the drinking things.  Not too bad id say x

Oh i also need to drink more generally!  Im quite naughty in remembering to sip throughout the day!
