We can look at it any way we want, call it what you may......we're on a diet for life.

I learned something interesting recently.....

It's a natural fear to be concerned about what others think on how you eat post WLS.

I get it, but I never had it. I just figured it was going to be better than "Look how much the fat guy eats".
