Even though I'm only 11 weeks post-RNY, I have seen a profound difference in my outlook toward food and eating in general. What the surgery is doing for me -- other than serving as a tool for weight loss -- is forcing me to make very, very different choices or suffer the consequences. By that I mean more than just slowed weight loss or regain -- I mean dumping syndrome from eating something too sweet or too fatty, nausea from eating too quickly, etc. One doesn't have to experience these unpleasant side effects more than once or twice to get the message -- change and change now. That, even moreso than the weight loss, has been the difference maker for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211648025144729733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381873261622754232.post-38993554200323085762009-07-09T09:32:33.386-04:002009-07-09T09:32:33.386-04:00I got there lots of helpful content and great info...I got there lots of helpful content and great information.

There is so much more that goes into the surgery and the process but so is there for heart surgery and not alot of know about that either. I think you were an excellent representative of the surgery verbalized clearly and conscisely. Thank you for representing US.HOA Mgr Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949018880623140075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381873261622754232.post-81833083291868017472009-06-25T12:06:45.653-04:002009-06-25T12:06:45.653-04:00Hi Amy - The key is to think of it as a tool, that...Hi Amy - The key is to think of it as a tool, that will help you get there.
