I'm the same as Dawny - some days it feels like I have hardly any restriction and others I struggle to eat anything at all. This is probably mental tho!

Welcome:flowers: You'll find a alot of support from the guys on here - I know I have. How long did it take? I spoke about surgery with my GP in July of 2009 and had my first hospital appointment in August/Sept of 2009, then I had my op last June. Eleven months may seem relatively quick as...

How likely is that?

I too feel like you, but I'm making bad choices everyday - also not a dumper :-(. My excuses are, I'm under stress both at work and home, I've lowered my dose of antidepressants so I'm feeling generally down, etc etc But tbh they're just excuses and not very good ones at that. I really...
