I have been obese since childhood. I can remember doing crazy things like the cabbage soup diet and normal plans like Weight Watchers. I seem to be able to drop the pounds, but they tend to come back if I am not extremely diligent. I have a food addiction that is kicking my behind, & I can't seem to get control of it.
My best friend had gastric bypass 6 years ago, & at that time, I thought she was crazy. I said I'd never do that to my body, but after doing a ton of research & seeing her success, here I am, 6 years later, & I'm 6 days post-op. My hope is to finally squash this food addiction monster & get control!
I'm feeling rather well, but am struggling terribly with the psychological hunger I'm experiencing. This liquid diet for 2 weeks is killer especially when I smell dinner cooking. I just want to eat! At times, I don't know if my pouch is hungry, my old stomach is hungry & trying to devour my pouch, or if I'm imagining it all..lol. I can hardly wait to start the soft foods faze!!
I'm really scared, but mostly excited to continue on this lifelong journey I've started.
