i feel a lot better now . there are still days i feel sorry for myself and regret it . but the good days out weigh the bad hun . after all the op may fix the stomach but it doesnt cure the brain . and after years of abusing the body with food . the brain still wants to tell you to eat , the good thing is, is that you never really feel hungry, you do feel peckish so if i feel like something to eat i have it . but only in a very small quantity. unlike before if i was having a bad day, i would eat 3 or 4 choc bars, and maybe 5 packs of crisp and then bread and jam and biscuits .. but now if i want choc i have it, but i buy a small bag of buttons and once there gone over the course of the day thats it ... or a small milky way, i never said i was ever going to be a saint . but like i have often said a little bit of what you fancy doesnt hurt .... dont be put of from having your op hun, it is the best thing i have done . but be prepared to feel like its the worst thing some days it is just normal .. we are all on here for the same reasons, and that is we have an addiction to food ,,,,,,,, but this is like a big extended family and we all support each other through the good and bad times xxxx
