Angela makes a really good point when she says that this is as much about the psychological changes as well as the physical ones.
I dont think I will ever be free of my food addiction. Yes, I have a physical tool which prevents me overeating now, but Im ashamed to say that if I could have just one day where I could gorge myself stupid like I did every day in the run up to my pre op diet then I would.
I miss eating in huge quantites. Yes, it is about quality, not quantity when you get to the losers bench... but I do miss that feeling of being full up. Maybe its still early days for me, and dont get me wrong, I wouldnt turn the clock back for all the tea in China, but food doesnt give me the same pleasure now as it did before the op. I'm too busy concentrating on trying to get the protein in before the carbs, and not eating and drinking at the same time, and wondering how many mouthfuls I can eat before I start to feel full. Its hard to put in to words... I hope you know what I mean.
