Hello all,

I'm about two months post op. Had band removed in June, ate like it was going out of style for two months until my VSG in August. Following the first few weeks of liquids,soft foods etc I found that I can eat and tolerate everything. Everything to the point that unless it's really bulky food like steak, I'm not really full. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this surgery? I thought that I would be eating like a bird. I am so concerned that old habits never die. My cravings are still there and I think this is quite a problem. I know, therapy, therapy, therapy. Any other ideas?

I'm just concerned where you said after you had the band removed " you ate like it was going out of style" for the 2 months till VSG.. Which makes me feel like you really haven't wrapped your head around the changes you have to make and not just count on the sleeve to do all the work.. I hope you're able to take the tool and work it it to get where you want to be!

Thanks for mentioning 7 Eleven, man. Now I want a Slurpee.

Ouch. That was harsh. It doesn't help to talk to someone like that. Everyone has their stories and their baggage....you don't know everything about everyone by reading a post on here.

YOU RIGHT!!

The disease of food addiction is the biggest problem. Those that have it, understand it. It's real and it's very powerful. My biggest challenge is to conquer this.
