I have my surgical consult next week so I'm still new. I am ready to be healthy and stop yo yo dieting. I have made great changes in lifestyle in the past, given up sugary food, for example.

I like bread and chocolate and ice cream. I am 38 years old and should not have this relationship with food!!

I get scared about the surgery because what if I eat something bad after. I know dumping can occur which may be a big deterrent. But will my constant thinking about food and giving in to that childish want, go away?!

Hi there. I am 45. I love food. Homemade breads with butter and jam and cakes are my biggest issues....and homemade pizza.

I can only Tell you what I am experiencing since my gastric bypass surgery 1 week ago. I feel no hunger, no craving and it is all I can do to push myself to get in enough fluids.

You will do fine. If after a while you have a bite of something you shouldn't, it will probably be a lesson learned. I would hope you are having a bypass done and not a sleeve. You sound like you need the scare of dumping to keep you on the right path (that's why I chose it over a sleeve)

good luck!!!
