kendra01 7 Posted October 2, 2016 Babbs - well yes of course I do - I have had enough health concerns to know to research everything & every decision I make which is what I'm doing and this forum is part of that research - opinions from the horses mouth is important but I'm certainly not an idiot as to expect a magic cure - nothing is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mi75 1,235 Posted October 10, 2016 as it's been said before, weight loss surgery is a TOOL. nothing more. nothing magic. nothing instant. and it takes WORK. after having surgery i think how i can best describe it is this: prior to surgery, i could literally eat pounds of food and never really feel full. after surgery, i feel like i am eating very 'normal' portions comparable to what other people would eat. 'dieting' is something that when i make an effort to do- can work. cutting cals and moving more is making a difference. the only issue for ME is that i am eating those 'normal' portions too often every day, and found myself indulging WAY too much in my daily soda habits. so i'm cleaning it up, making an effort and hopefully within a few weeks i'll have some awesome stats to show off!

I agree 10 days out, I eat very little but literally set an alarm to eat because I could see me eating too often Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
