Dr Oz Show Today

Nov 17, 2009

Dr. Oz started his show today discussing cell phones and brain tumors. The next segment, however, was about food addiction. It is something many WLS patients have and must deal with to help prevent regain. The woman featured on the show today had gastric bypass a few years ago and lost 100 lbs, but regained 80 lbs due to her food addiction. I can so relate to this woman!

Food tastes good! It's what got me to the point of having WLS, afterall. I don't eat stuff because I don't like how it tastes. It gives you instant gratification! It doesn't talk back! But it also kills. It's like the so-called best friend who is plotting against you the whole time. Just like that, almost just like that.

But I can control what goes into my mouth. I do control what goes in my mouth. I picked something up from support group the other week that I continue to ask myself, almost at every meal: Is this food (or drink) helping me reach my goal of a healthier life?
