Welcome to our group, I think you will be happy with the people on here. Nancy

I'm with Rose, I'm like you in many ways, Rose. I hope someone has some good ideas, lol. Hugs, Nancy

Hummmmm, chewing gum while cooking, never thought of that, and it just might work, lol. Thanks for the idea. Hugs, Nancy

That would be grand, lol. We only went the one time, my DH thinks I have a gambling problem, lol, which I don't geese, I haven't been to a bingo or anything else for a very very long time, lol. My kids go there all the time, lol, they love to go but only allow themselves so much and that is it, lol. Thanks for the offer, maybe one day I will take you up on it, lol. Hugs, Nancy

Sorry, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, lol. I never win even in Vegas, lol. As everyone tells me if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all, lol. Hugs, Nancy

I didn't know that, see, lol. Thanks for letting me know, cos I thought it was for our op as well. Nancy:tongue_smilie:

I'm 7 months out now, and I too have a problem with eating, but it is mental more than anything. There are times when I forget to eat and other times, I just eat, due to habit. If you can't control what you eat, or how often and aren't losing weight, then you may want to consider doing the DS. There is now another thing out there that is supposed to help if things get to out of control and your stomach stretches is the Stomax I think it is called, where they put something in your stomach and it makes zig zags to make your stomach smaller. I lost 81 lbs since Nov 3/08 but still have 160 lbs to go, and it is hard, I just have to watch my calorie and fat intake better and if that doesn't work, my surgeon said from day one, I would probably need the 2nd stage of the DS, due to the fact that I had so much to lose.

Do people really win or is it a gimmick, lol. I never win anything, even if there was only myself and another person, I still wouldn't win, lol. :lol0: Nancy
