@@Dysruption thank you for the reality check-I realize it's what I need. I will start tracking my food. I do have a My Fitness Pal account-I will start using it. My activity level has been inconsistent so I will make that change too. 30 continual minutes a day or more. Time to get serious and stop the 'recovery' stage. Thanks everyone!

SCREW THAT APPLE! Love it. Yes I am very emotional about food. And about my family eating food without me. I feel left out, lonely, scared, etc. WTF did I do to myself??

I just had my 2 week follow up appointment with the surgeon. I've lost 10 lbs since my surgery. He seemed not quite please with that weight loss. I have been eating more than the 1/4 cup modified liquid per meal that is recommended. I've been eating 1/2 cup or slightly more (5 ozs) per meal. And the occasional snack. The surgeon says that if I am stretching the rules now, I will continue to do so and probably head towards failing overall. He didn't say it so bluntly, but I understood what he meant. I'm shocked and depressed that I am failing so soon after my surgery. Anyone else been in my shoes? How did you turn it around? MsTodd

Congrats! Funny story!
