I saw a news program that did a brain scan on people and how sugar effected some people and how it showed up in others... There are those of us out there that when we get a dose of sugar it acts like drugs to a heroin addict! People who don't have an addiction can never understand sweetie. Just like you can sympathize with a person who is addicted to alcohol, but you don't know their struggle unless you've been there. You do what is right for YOU!!! I am a firm believer in "Know your limitations!"

Hunger. I have NONE. My entire life I've been hungry. I just could never say no to seconds or thirds and lord help me if it was one of my favorite foods or desserts. I always failed at diets because I would work out then come home starving and always over it (even it was super healthy food). Today, I'm 7 days post op, and I HAVE NO hunger. I'm dealing with a bit of stomach acid, but the moment I take my antacid medication the grumbling disappears. Hate to say this is a miracle, but for me- this is absolutely life changing to wake up and not be starving. Hallelujah.

It may change, you might begin to feel some kind of hunger in a couple months but it is NOTHING..I repeat NOTHING like it was before. It turns from a lion to kitten and it doesnt really feel like hunger, more like...a small empty feeling that can be forgotton if you dont keep a schedule..It is a nice feeling...ENJOY.

Wow! Thats reassuring, im having surgery in Oct,& am very nervous, this helped a lot on:)

Learning the psychology behind the reasons for your loss of control with food will be helpful and add to the success of your weight loss journey. Your journey will present challenges every day...and emotionally if you are strong enough to meet them it will enhance your success with weight loss. Best wishes as you begin your journey...

I was terrified of this journey- as any sane normal person would be... but I was out before I knew what hit me and when I woke up I lift up my hospital gown because I didn't believe them when they said it was done. HOLY smokes! It was easier than getting my wisdom teeth out! THey kept me well drugged and I just chilled in bed and watch'd tv. I was so anxious I had a hard time sleeping but the team was amazing to me. Jessica the nurse and everyone where just fantastic. I've never had a doctor and his team treat me that well for that many days. No regrets... only wish I'd done it sooner!

Best of luck and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Oh Good Luck and speedy recovery it's going to be amazing! Cheer's
