    I absolutely notice and I'm amazed at how much food gets eaten at dinners. I am 7 months out and I can eat more than I used to. I have become a master at making it look like I am eating more than I am so those who I don't care to let know I had the surgery don't notice. I've noticed that only the people who know I had the surgery notice how much I eat. The rest don't. But back to the original question, I used to eat as much as everyone else still does - if not more!

    I felt very sad right around 3 weeks or so after surgery. But I can tell you that it didn't last long at all. Once the weight started coming off really fast and people noticed, it was like a high and I forgot all about being sad! I think I was mourning the loss of my favorite bad foods and the "rituals" I had for eating. Such as a huge Breakfast before work every morning, snacking in the afternoon at work, snacking on the ride home from work and them of course eating a huge dinner full of carbs. I spent a lot of time getting food and hiding food and eating in private. That time is now all freed up and I felt lost at first, like what do I do now? There is definitely a mourning and adjustment period, but for me, it didn't last very long and I've never looked back. I am extremely happy with my results so far (surgery 6 1/2 months ago - down a total of 122 pounds from a HW of 328). Your sadness will go away soon, I'm sure of it!

    My drive is super low too and I just can't understand why. I haven't looked or felt this good in years. I don't even want my hubby to touch me at all sometimes. For him I do it - but I could completely go without indefinitely. And I was never ever like this before. It was at least every other day. I don't know why this has happened.

    I had surgery May 15th this year. I was 305 day of surgery and 328 when I started the liquid diet 3 weeks before surgery. Today I am 215! Onederland is so close! I haven't been there since sometime in the 1990's. I am beyond thrilled and know that this is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16. I look and feel so much better. And out in the world people actually treat me better (which is a reflection on society and not me) but whatever - I will take it! I move easier, can wear heels again, things don't ache like they used to, and I can actually run again. I couldn't be happier!!!

    I was 328 before pre-op diet for 3 weeks. 305 day of surgery May 15, 2014. Today I am 227. I have lost a total of 101 pounds - and 78 of them have been since surgery. I am beyond proud, beyond excited.....every day is so much easier. I can move and bend and do all of the things you can't do when you have an extra 100 pounds on you! My goal is 150, so I still have a way to go, but size 16 in jeans sure beats size 24-26!!! This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! I got my life back!
