Hi Im almost 2 years post op and have not hit goal yet. My food cravings were back 2 days home from surgery! I have my ups and downs daily. I can eat chocolate but like Woody I cannot sit down and eat an entire bag or I will feel like crap for a little while. The "dumping" I had at the beginning of surgery was severe now its like feelings under the weather (crap) for anywhere from 10-30 mins. The difference for me is this, I now have control! I could not find the control over my eating beofre surgery i have it now This is what this surgery has given me. I choose daily to drink water, not soda I choose to eat protein first then carbs. I choose to exercise because I can easily and I like the way I feel afterwards. I love the way I look in chlothes now. These things I can control now and I can continue to cntrol them with the tool given to me by Dr. Callery. Do I push my limits? Yes alot more than I should, but I am still in control and I make the decisions and I dont want to be that heavy ever again.
