Default Life Is Great Now But....

What Happens When Our Appetites Start Returning!!??!! It Still Scares Me As I Sit Here And Fight The Night Time Munchies And Drink All This Water. But When Our Appetite Returns How Often Will We Fight Battles Like This And Win?!?!?!?

Its Scarey As Hell To Think About This.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Your appetite will return, but not the ravishing hunger. That was caused in part by a hormone secreted from the stomach walls that in the case of RNY bypass patients, is blocked off. Eventually, with disuse, the amount of hormones decreses, easing your hunger pains.
The rest of the hunger other than the normal hunger that returns, is in your head. You need to check out what kind of eater you are, compulsive or not, stress or not, boredom or not, reward or not, and build a new different coping mechanism that doesn't involve food. It ain't easy, but this is actually what the honeymoon is for, to change your pattern of dealing and action.
You can do it.

I do have some return of appetite, more so than before. I just make smart choices ~ usually warm s/f choc pudding will cure any craving and is ~100 calories, fat free and has decent protein. Still havent bought the protein chips, think they'd be good IF you can stop with one serving. I was thinking about that this weekend though as well. It's scary when we hear of people who did so well then went back again -- EEEEEEK!
