It may feel "left out" in the beginning but with time , as others have stated, you fall into a good place and you will THANK GOD you have a cool tool to help you get control.

I was thinking yesterday while eating...A Lean Cuisine frozen meal thingy....

"This IS the portion size I SHOULD have been eating before surgery"

It is amazing when I think back to the amount of food this chick here could put down...

Hey and Social settings freaking ROCK....Most parties have finger foods and small appetizers...you can sample a little of everything..take a bite and move on.That is the one thing I love about my tool, just a little goes a LONNNG way even at 3 years out.

You will be surprised....Watching people eat post -op is like a Freak Show..they shovel food in and hardly chew...I watch others eat and wonder if they even taste what they are eating?Do they really enjoy their food?I know for a fact, I didn't chew my food well if at all before surgery..I would strain my neck to swallow...How is that for a Food Addict?

It is tough but you can do it, you will have a great tool to help you.Start good habits from the beginning and you will have control long term post op.

Excited for your Journey to begin,

Thanks everyone for all the good advise. Next time I get into a pitty party mood, I will think of all the rewards that are headed my way. A new healthy and thinner life.
