These stories are unbelievable!! I was very very fortunate to have a very good education (to the tune of 26 weeks of classes) learning about the after life.
The stories here amaze me because I would NEVER even consider eating some of the food that people on here eat, the golden rule we lived by was 12-16 weeks, and not allowing anything that even resembled any type of oil, grease, rice, noodles etc. Yes some people can tolerate them at earlier stages of the first 4 months, but why? I found that waiting for at least 4 months to indulge in things that may make me sick was not too much time to sacrifice, since this surgery was going to last quite a long time!!
This surgery is also very interesting, since it is not rocket science, and the rules are made by each surgeon, and they sometimes very by quite a large margin, hence, ask a question to 20 people and get 25 answers!!!
Im 4 months out, and only threw up once, and that was because I ate a pill that was too big, and got stuck.
