I think I am back to "normal" but my normal includes exercise. I don't get very hungry anymore. My surgery was March 2012. I have lost about 42 pounds. I want to loose about 20 more pounds..there are foods I no longer eat, nor do I want to eat..my normal is working for me. I don't want to be the fat girl again.

We all have had those days. I swear it gets better. One day you will wake up smiling and not feeling like crap. I know this because it happened to me. It takes time to figure it all out, but you will. Give yourself a break and start to enjoy the process.

Any surgery is scary, I was so scared that I would die, but guess what I survived and you will to. Best of luck. Say a prayer and relax. This surgery changed my life and it will change yours as well.

I did not realize how much weight I gained until I had surgery and started losing weight.

I took off 3 weeks. I needed every bit of it. You really have to get use to eating again because it is so different after surgery.
