Please don't hate me but it makes me actually sad to see all the posts about snacks and 'what can I eat, here or there' Food is an addiction. I can say with all honesty I don't think about food. I eat a good breakfast. Dinner and supper. Protein first

I was very thin the first 21 years of my life. I simply ate my way to 287. I work hard to keep the weight off but wonder if it is easier for me because I wasn't an obese child?

My surgeon is not the one who gave me my eating plan. He was just my surgeon but one thing he said was, never,ever chew gum. If you accidentally swallow you will see me again. I don't chew gum because in nurses trading my instructor pulled aside and as

I wish there was a nice way to tell someone they are eating too much and bad choices ? I see people eating things early post op that I wouldn't eat 13 years post op. Or do I just shut up?
