Hi, I am Joy and I am a food addict who has tried and tried all her life to eat normally and be a "normal" size. Now my life is at risk so I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy a month ago. Since beginning the pre-surge weight loss plan, I have lost 84 lbs (in 9 months) and already am feeling better. My nutritionist recommended this site so I could better keep track of what and when I am eating since surgery. It is a whole new world in that I have no hunger, no cravings and must make myself eat. Merry Christmas everyone on this the first full day of Hannakah (and my favorite neice's 42nd birthday!)
BTW I am a psychotherapist who had to close her practice working w obese folks who had irrational relationships w food...because my irrational relationship w food was making it nearly impossible to connect w clients any longer.:embarassed: :flowerforyou:
