Thank you for your replies! I've worked a lot on my hunger/fullness cues with mindful eating.
Does anyone practice intuitive eating or it is more likely to be on a low-carb diet for the rest of our lives?

Hi everyone! I went for my first appointment with the dietician and mental health provider today. I am wondering how you experience hunger after surgery. I have read some people don't experience it for quite some time. When it does come back, is the sensation different? Do cravings feel the same? And how does fullness feel?

I read another of Michelle May's book and found it to be helpful. I also participated in an MB-EAT program byJean Kristeller and Andrea Lieberstein. That offered some experiential learning that filled some gaps for me. I know this post is older and I hope you are doing well!

It made a big difference finding the right therapist. I have seen some very knowledgeable ED providers and appreciated their help. However, it wasn't until I found one that works through an embodied lens, that I felt I was making true progress. I needed to learn to feel and label emotions as well as feel safe in my body (I hope that makes sense). Good luck in your journey!

This is a random question, but I signed up for an informational meeting through zoom with a local doctor. When the invite was sent, it included everyone's e-mail address. I was very surprised. Is this normal protocol? I've never been to one of these meetings before.

Thank you, everyone, for your honest responses. I am considering gastric bypass and know it is a big life decision. Is there a best place to post questions about the mental/emotional piece?

Hi everyone! What do you wish someone had told you about before you had surgery that you didn't learn until after?

Guru in training-I love your doctor! The advice she gave you is something I've never heard a doctor say. Is she HAES informed? I wish someone like her had told me that in my 20s before I did so much dieting. Congratulations on your success! It is lifelong and it is a rediscovery of befriending our bodies.
