What Are You Hungry For? It's Not Food!



Recommended Posts

Why are you eating? What are you hungry for? It's not food! This is a page I came across while looking for help. It's a discussion about those very questions, based on the novel by Geneen Roth, "Women, food and God"...she and Oprah Winfrey talk it out. It's quite eye opening! Give it a glance...

I love love love that book. I own it and have read it a number of times. Matter of fact, was looking for it the other day. It means getting down on my knees went and I didn't know have the strenght to do it.

This should be a must read & read & read to everyone. You get the picture don't you.

If people don't want to read it b/c it mentions God. It is NOT a religious book.

maddysgram,

I have yet to read the book, I was going to buy it last week, but instead chose to buy Jean McMillan's Bandwagon book. When I'm done (if you ever really stop needing it!) I plan on moving on to Ms. Roth's book.

I had heard from the author herself that it wasn't about "God", but more spiritual than anything. Good to know from a reader she wasn't lying!

I wish someone could come to my house and get down on their knee's and find my book. I might get down there, but not sure if I can get up again.

I can't wait for the day I can have my knee's replaced, almost as exciting as having my LB. LOL

LOL! I feel for ya.

But don't ask ME to get down on MY knees...I just had both replaced, and they give you an "Oh no you don't!" feeling when you kneel on them. An indescribabley weird, unpleasant feeling.

You'll have to use one of those claw grabbers, dahling!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
