Found this in my web wanderings; it's a pretty simple visual to show why diets alone often fail so many of us. When I saw it, I thought "aha--something I could email to anyone in my circle of friends or family who don't understand why I'm choosing WLS over 'trying harder on a diet'!"

That pretty much says it all!

So true!

That pretty much says it all!

I see by your ticker that your surgery is today--I hope it goes smoothly and that you come through with flying colors!

This is exactly right! Except my "feast response" always lasted twice as long as my diet!
