As many of you know I had gastric bypass. I have mulitple mental illnesses and me and my surgeon discussed them at length before he said he'd do the surgery.

If I had a nickel for anytime I heard just cut down on the amount you eat I'd be a millionare. For some its not that easy. I am a compulusive over eater and yet am doing well after having the surgery. Yes I can't eat as much as I did before and I am quite happy about that. Being able to shop at walmart is a great incentive to not eat that thing. Yet other times as you know I do eat the ice cream and pay the price. There is something that happens to GBS patients that is called dumping...its not a fun experience. When I eat something that I'm not to eat I usually dump. Not all the time and as time goes on it doesn't happen as often as it used to and I am not happy about that.

Yes I had Gastric Bypass and I'm proud of it.
