Okay I am a fat person. I like to eat. I have been overeating for most of my life, If I was not overeating I was probably on a diet. I have been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle for a time but I have always returned to my bad habits. I am wondering if i will be miserable without the option of eating unless I can find something that can replace whatever I am getting from the food. After this proceedure I will not be able to eat. I have heard stories about people who have WLS and become alcoholics or drug addicts. I was curious about what some of you who are post-op have done to replace the food?

Oh please! No worries. I might have came across short but didn't mean to. No offense taken at all. You are a huge inspiration to me. The pictures you have posted are in an incredible inspiration!

I am not sleeved yet. You may want to try hypnotheapy. i see laurie miller in Orange co. CA She is great at single issue resolutions. I willbe seeing her regularly when i am sleeved. Also, try to take one class in something that you have always been interested in one evening a week at your local community college or city rec dept. just one evening a week. you may get addicted to learning. LOL or, volunteer one evening a week. ronaldmc donald house is my refuge. Hope you can trade one addiction for a fulfilling life style change.
