How the hell did you pass the psych eval to get WLS? Are you trollin' us, or are you for real? I'm sitting here hoping you're a troll for your own health.
Holy COW all I can think after reading this is w.t.f. you don't need WLS of any kind.
please be a troll

I'm too lazy to open this big ass thread and see if you are replying to the OP. But I think she has "last word itis"
We haven't seen a good round of it for awhile.
She should really step away from the computer.
And whoever advised her to quit typing "giggle" is right on the money
maybe she is a troll!
not giggling but enjoying the entertainment, Judi

Why do Post Ops eat "Food that is bad for us"? Well honestly, two reasons...
1) Because we are human
2) Because I had this surgery to be "Normal"...
I did not get obese because I had trigger foods or ate tons of Haagen Daaz ice cream or entire BAGS of chips...I got obese because I didn't exercise and ate a TON of red meat...(30 oz steaks).
My husband is "Normal" (as is my son and MIL) I was the only "Obese" person in the family after years of being on steroids and immunosuppressants. My husband who is 5'4 and 125 can eat a small slice of cheescake and enjoy it and not gain weight. My MIL can eat some Kenticky Friend chicken (2 pieces the grilled kind) and not gain weight...
What is WRONG with eating 1 small slice of cheesecake or a single serving (Maybe 10 individual sweet potatoe fries)??? I am not saying do it your first 6 months post op...But the Europeans, French and Italians have wine nightly with dinner, eat butter and most of them are NOT obese...It is all about REAL foods (Not chemicals and artificial flavors) they exercise and WALK everywhere, etc.
I can see if something is a "trigger" for you and you have to be honest with yourself about that. Not all of us have "trigger and food mental issues"... Some of us were just lazy and BIG eaters.
For me I never FELT sated or full...After my RNY I do... I have no plans to drink regular soda and I like exercising...But will I eat a SMALL slice of cheesecake now and then...Yes! My whole reason for having this surgery was to be NORMAL and that is normal...
NOT all of us dump (IN fact very few of us do) and not all must be on a strict "diet"... (I can eat any meat from goat to lamb to ox with no problem).
That is one reason someone might eat a (what you would call) "Bad food"...Cheesecake is not in itself inherently bad...Many Europeans make wonderous hhigh calorie foods for holidays and celebrations...But they EAT smaller amounts and MOVE more.
There is a difference in taking in 4000 calories and 1500 calories. Get it?
Warmly,
Jackie

I wrote the first response. Took me quite some time. I was sincere. I tried to explain my thoughts well. I understand what it is like to be a pre-op and read about postops eating "all that junk" (my thoughts) and think I'll be perfect. Looked down my nose at them. But I kept my thoughts to myself. I knew that once I was postop I'd have the right to speak up, and give them a word or two of my much more mature wisdom.
Only to have surgery, have altered anatomy, and an entire life ahead of me. It's like teenagers think they know EVERYTHING..... but as they get older, they gain perspective and understand their limitations (most anyway, not sure in the OP's case). I got wise, was glad I never said what I thought. There is more to life than eating food that simply provides nutrition. and besides, aside from stuff that is found in the meat or produce section, everything I eat has a nutrition label... it's all nutrition.... it's just not all the BEST nutrition possible.
to sum up everything I said.... I eat food that isn't always the best, in moderation, to make it EASIER to eat the best food MOST of the time. Some deviation allows for a stronger adherance to my overall plan. Or at least that is how it was until I decided I needed to gain a bit.
