I am dealing with this struggle myself. The surgery itself is no a cure all. I knew this going in. I battle to curb grazing and making poor food choices. I wasn't exercising, and wasn't losing. Currently I am going back to basics. Started with the dreaded protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. Started walking on the treadmill daily. Finally the stall has broken.

Going on vaccation with my family two weeks ago was a eye opener. Wow the amount of food was overwhelming! I certainly realize why the whole crew is obese. I am going to break this cycle starting with myself and my kids. I know I eat when I am stressed. Food is such a compulsion for me.

Well after this rant, what I really want to say, is WE GOT THIS. I know you can do it and I can do this. If you need support you got it. Thanks for sharing it's great to know I am not alone, in what I am feeling.

pookeyism, i have a date,I'm on the preop diet, and i keep waiting for the bomb to drop, all ready had my boss threatening me for taking off during the holiday season. It all seems unreal. I"m cagey and panicky, and it all seems like a sureal nightmare. But when I dig deep I know this is right, i need to change my life. I can't worry about pissing off the boss, i have to think about all the holidays i'll miss with my family if i die young from obesity. .......wow..... glad i got that out.....

keep moving forward, your worth it/
