How well do I understand the deprived feelings! I am two weeks out from surgery. I am addicted to food this is a fact. Stay away from temptation, run away from others when they stuff themselves. If food smells good when you are around,get out of there. I am getting stronger as I see my progress. You will too. You didnt make a bad decision getting surgery you made a life changing great decision. This will be great!! We are all in this together and we will win!! HANG in there.
