great post, Buffalobillsfan!
For me,...grazing is about boredom and fidgetyness. (I don't think that's a real word lol) It's the worst when I'm at work in my office sitting at my computer all day. That's when I find it hardest to resist snacking or picking on things I have no business eating.
I agree...BTW, @buffalobillsfan, in your post, you said you lost 100% of your excess weight and have kept it of. If you don't mind me asking, how much and for how long, because you could never tell you was ever overweight in your picture, you look great!
I agree.... I have gotten a lot of good information and advice. I was thinking back to when I was 303lbs and blindly trusting I thought that the Gastric Bypass would resolve all my issues with eating and weight. I expected the RNY to force me to learn to eat right. I thought I would never be able to eat certain foods again and if I tried I would get so sick that I would not eat it again. I also thought I would never be able to overeat again with the small stomach without throwing up. I never really got either of those except some restriction that did not last long. I am so afraid to just rely on me doing the right thing with no surgical help. Dr. K says he does not believe I failed because of poor eating or overeating and or lack of exercise. He thinks its genetics and the need for more mal-absorption that comes from a true DS. He thinks I am a victim of the wrong procedure not a failed one just not the right or best tool for me. I also worry about continuing to regain weight and returning of some of the original co-morbidities such as diabetes and HTN. I also do not know if Dr. K will get pass the insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) firewall for an RNY to DS procedure. I am going to go to Dr. K in the next few weeks he wants to do an endoscopy himself and tell me what he will be dealing with if he does the surgery. If I get the DS then I may have to go to Dr. M in Brazil and plan to stay longer and take the risks....I am unsure still and I know I have diet compliance issues to consider....
