I've been in a program since last July. Lost more than I needed to. In December had decided against a procedure gained 10#.Re-entered in January, in 10 days I meet my surgeon.

Has anyone else "played" around with their food, while waiting for a date? I can't seem to get on the straight & narrow. Everyday I battle with what I will & won't eat. Will it always be this way?

I did. This is a crazy issue. After surgery it was so much easier. I had a plan to follow and was so "done" being crazy with food that it was easy to stay on my surgeon's prescribed plan. Now I'm almost 8 months out and battling the cravings. I'm certainly not hungry like before and I have great restriction.

I'm so much better than before surgery. You can do this. Just know that it may get a whole lot better after the surgery is done.

Just wondering if you've had the surgery and how you are doing...

Biggirlpanties,

I had my surgery June 23. I'm doing ok. I had one incidence of dehydration that was rectified by a trip to the ER for fluids.

I began getting serious in April and since the middle of May I've lost 62#, not too shabby!

I'm so glad that I had the surgery. It's amazing to me that my hip & back pain have dramatically lessened & I'm able to walk almost 30 mins without crying due to my pain!
