I had my surgery 2 years ago and I am not doing well, I don't have a support group near. The one I went to had gastric bypass people and I didn't fit there. I need to get moving but it is still pretty confusing to me about the food. I am single and love to cook so thats not a problem. I just seem hungry alot.

Hi Debbie :
   Nice to meet you -- Sometimes it is tuff and you do get hungry i do understand from my doc it will happen but as long as youre eating the right foods -- protein first --  yum yum lol - and drinking alot of water - i cartry a water bottle all the time and keep sipping - it does help out a bit  .. Where are tyou from? Hope to talk soon Darleen
