I feel that yes it is easier to not overeat now but we still have to plan cook make good choices plus we have to exercise our butts off and force ourselves to get up and do it so we still have to work just as hard as someone who is doing it without surgery. Good luck all!
It really does get easier I have no regrets at all. For me this was the correct decision. However, I have had to learn to deal with unwanted advice from others
I am one day ahead of you, and I can tell you that I feel a whole lot better today than yesterday. It seems to get better day by day. My pain level is at about a 4 now. It'll get better, at least it has for me.
