The fight with food is very much like the one with drinking: an addiction is an addiction. I can't conceive of a lifetime of stellar habits-- so instead I do it one day at a time. And I guess that's all we *can* do. So far, so good! Good luck on your journey. I kinda like the VSG myself, but Blue Cross doesn't-- so I gotta do what I gotta do. -S.

There you go, Shari...it is one day at a time. It is overwhelming to think that we can do this, every day every day. Sometimes, it is one "twenty minutes" at a time, too! I have found that making deals with myslef, i.e., if i still want ______ in twenty minutes, then okay. It is usually enough time to talk myself out of it and get thru past the shame and guilt of letting myself down AGAIN. I seriously think you ladies are smart to keep wls in mind. Keep thinking about it and wishing and working on your compulsion issues, it will be drawn to you, a path will unfold.

I'm past "thinking" about WLS-- just waiting on the date!

I'll just consider myself "non-op" until the minute I am "post- op."

You may feel its a small difference but it is definitely noticeable. Good for you, and you sound like you have more realistic expectations about wls than perhaps anyone else I have read about.
