The chew chew chew, the smaller portions, and eating my protein first. My biggest frustration so far is trying to keep toward the 1500 mark in calories. Even though…

Just read through this discussion board and am happy to have found it. I am in the program for surgery, and am looking to have the by-pass completed. Next month I meet with the Psych Dr. My insurance requires that I complete the program in a 90 day period. I am hoping it is enough time to change my habits so that I am…
