Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm Desi.
 
I made the decision (at 310 lbs) to have my bariatric surgery while on a trip last spring.  My friend and I had tickets to fly over the Hoover Dam in a helicopter.  The day before we left the called me and informed me that I would have to pay extra because of my weight.  It was at that moment I realized that I had to change my life.  I can't live the way I have been living.
 
Something that also helped me with my decision is my dad's 3 year success with his gastric bypass. He has come off of 8 medications and is no longer diabetic.
 
I had my vertical sleeve done on December 12th and have an appointment today with the nurse to add mushy foods to my diet.
 
I've seen that many people say they kind of lose interest in eating after surgery but unfortunately can tell that i'm not one of those people.  Even at the stage I'm at now I find myself pushing the limit and stopping past my satisfied point at the "this hurts" point.  I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to reprogram myself.  Is there anyone else in a similar situation to mine?  Have you  had any success with anything? therapy?
 
I have an  appointment next week with a therapist recommended by my surgeon.  I figured that may be a good place to start.  Any other ideas on things that might help me?
 
Thanks, in advance and I'm looking forward to being a part of this group.
