patty... you['ve raised a really key point. this surgery is NOT for anyone who hasn't done some work on conquering their food demons. there IS no more using food to swallow emotions, or because you're bored, or angry or whatever.
some folks talk about 'head hunger'and it can be a real problem.
actually, you do indeed get to eat more often than you realize on this. after all, you have to get 80 grams of protein in a day, and you just can't do that without snacking. as the weight goes down, you need less protein, but i don't think it ever drops below 40 grams.
but that means that you'll have a protein shake, and an egg later. and i do mean an egg. no toast, potatoes or grits to go with it.
and lunch will be some protein [tuna, chicken, sliced deli meats are real popular choices, but it can be anything], some vegs [again, salad is popular], and that's it. but you'll be full...
and then a snack again.. i like thinly sliced deli meats rolled with thinly sliced cheese...
and dinner... protein and a small amount of vegs.
doesn't sound like much does it? but believe me, it will be....
but doing some work NOW on the emotional aspects of eating will really and truly help you.
as for you, peachie. how about 15 times, holding your boobs. and i'll buy you a pair of those stretch leggings from the avenue. and i have to see it!!!
and <oh so sweetly> who needs the botox??
