I am now almost 6 months post op and have lost 90 pounds. While the first few days were rough and uncomfortable, I can truly say that I am so thankful to have had the courage to take this step. I am so happy with the results and do not miss the binging behaviour as I feared I might. Instead, I am so grateful for the chance to live a normal life. I get all of the nutrition I need and I get bites of various things that look good. But what I find is that those old foods like bread, potatoes, fast food, pizza, really have no attraction for me. I just got the go ahead to have a small salad and boy was that good. sometimes if I want to eat a small salad and I need to make sure i get my 75-80gm of Protein in for that day, I will use the bariatric hot chocolate drink and just supplement. Thank you Dr. Matthew Johnson, Barb and all of the surgical team at St. Vincent's in Green Bay. You have saved my life.
