That's very true!

My brother is a type one diabetic but wasn't diagnosed until mid twenties. He had to drastically change his diet and at first it messed his stomach up. He said once his body got used to the shock that it got a lot better. I hope this helps.

Good luck!!!!

I am also really worried about this. My WLS handbook suggest that I find other ways to combat boredom or deal with stress. I am an emotional eater as well as a person who eats when I get bored. I haven't even met with the surgeon yet but I am already trying to make changes to my habits so that I can be better prepared for whats to come. One thing I have been doing when I get bored and find myself looking to eat even when I'm not hungry, is I have been doing suduko and other puzzles. I picked up a couple from the store and when my mind goes there I busy it. I'm also thinking of taking up knitting. Also I find music helps calm me when I'm emotional and want to eat the hinges off the refrigerator. I also plan to use exercise in the future. My weight really restricts exercise but after WLS I hope that I can start. I hope this helps!

I would start with your physician also. My doctor and I discussed WLS and referred me to a bariatric surgeon in my area. Even after I had my referral I researched the surgeon and read a lot of reviews to make sure he was a good one. This isn't something I would trust to just anyone.

Amen!

That makes sense Mfs. But for the people that are willing to take this serious and commit to a different life style it really sucks!

Thank you! I appreciate all the different ideas so I can experiment.

Thank you so much! I will defiantly look into these!

Lol well good luck! Can't wait for a report!
