In "Beck" world...she would have to arrest me I think...I don't even own a dining room table!  But, I do have my elliptical in place of where the DR table should be (I should get points for that right?)  I eat either standing in the kitchen but usually in the Lr watching the TV.

The little notebook for my purse is actually a little 3X5 spiral of index cards...that way the notebook paper doesn't fall apart, fold, get, bent or get destroyed being crried around in my luggage LOL.

OMG yes..I am so glad you posted this as I thought I was the ONLY one who felt this way.

So are you saying that you Limit what you eat to "keep" Normal?   Yes, Right?

Nat, That is exactly what Thin People do unfortunately...

Food Addicts come in all sizes... some never need WLS... but WE did.

You are not alone!

Even though I have to eat to keep my weight around 128-130, it is mainly because I feel that I'll probably need some form of surgery (cyst / fluid issue) to improve my health.  Each time I reach the higher caloric ranges there is a bit of panic that I feel.  I think about Regain a lot.  I think about Food a lot.

If you are eating a decent amount, you're probably doing fine "body wise"; head-wise is a different story for most of us.

I think that one problem is that to maintain "normal" I have to decide what I will have to omit to "keep" within a healthy range.  I don't drink, but my friends that do and are trying to stay thin really have a hard time.  It's similar to chocolate / cocoa cravings... Do I have the cocoa... or in my case the 6 Fudgsicles... at the risk of not eating something healthier? 

Well... yesterday I totally blew it... I finished the Fudgsicle box... that's why the magic number was 6... there were only 6 left!  I was going to stop for a DQ (medium choc dip cone = 490 calories) on Monday after my Therapy session.  Now here's the weird part... I didn't stop, but not because I had any willpower.  I didn't get the cone because it was "in town".... that's right... I "score" my cones "out of town"... 20 minutes away...  I'm glad that you posted this to help yourself, but you also helped me.  I am still Jonesin'  for certain foods.  I usually don't eat them, but it is getting harder.

I went to Dunkin' Donuts with a girlfriend yesterday for coffee and some much needed company.  She asked if I wanted anything other than my decaf w/ skim milk.  She had no idea that I was feeling some panic just being in the darn store.  I said, "No, I'm not ready to eat anything right now."  It was like I was in a strip club and the school moms were outside picketing the place.  Why should simply being in a Dunkin' Donuts give me anxiety?  It did... that's all I know for sure.

What is "normal" about "Normal"?   It seems so hard to "keep"...

.... So you are calling a "smaller D" ... a "fuller C"?  Right?

or a "full C"... Right?....

Thing is I really can't get my head around actually having Boobs... that is Boobs that are actually located higher on my body and have some shape.  I was never preoccupied with Breasts before I ended-up with the boobage of an old lady... like really old...
Maxine Old.

I expect that they will be different... and a bit scarred... maybe even a bit misshaped...
Sure the PS will do the best that he can with what's "left"...

Kind of sad that PS isn't made a bigger part of the Pre-Op discussion... but then again Regain should have been made a Bigger part of that explanation!

Guess that WLS would be harder to promote... business-wise.
Health-wise it was the best choice... no question about that with me.

Mostly the difference between a larger C, smaller D is:
1. Ease of finding bras that actually fit correctly (cause all manufacturers do not create them equal!)
2. Small D are slightly more full on profile, and provide better cleavage
3. And lastly, some C cup bras, even though not minimizers can make you look like a deflated B cup.
