Where are all the NH post ops?

Hello I had mine done lap at CMC in 9/04. I haven't had any complications and feel great. I am down about 50 lbs. I am just now having problems with the grazing issue. I'm not suppose to snack or eat in between meals but I am finding that difficult. Unfortuantely, I have snack things in the house because of children and my husband I almost wish I was back when I didn't even get hungry. I also find that I can eat practically anything without having a bad reaction. Not a good thing at all. I know what you mean about going out to eat. When I am asked I just say whereever you want to go, I'll find something. It isn't worth it for me to pick the place and then barely eat. Buffets are definantely a waste of money now! Anyway, so far I am very happy with my decision to do this. I wish I had done it sooner.

Hi Carol, Congrats on the weight loss! The grazing can be a problem....you really want to try to get a handle on that. It can turn into trouble later on. I have to keep an eye on it too. I find that the only thing to do is to get rid of the food that is a problem.....I can't have a bag of pretzels in my house.....everytime I try....I end up having to throw the bag out. I won't trade my success for a handful of snacks! I don't have much enthusiasm for eating out anymore either. Although I do like not having to cook or do dishes!

Thanks for the encouragement Kim. I wish I could throw all the temptations away but I have my 2 daughters and husband in the house too. Unfortuantely, they feel they need to have snacks around. lol I went shopping today and just trying on smaller sizes does help to motivate me. I also need to excerize more. I knew I wasn't getting enough si I'm going to be joining a gym soon. Thanks again for the encouragement.
