Thank you so much for posting this. Secrets are got most of us to where we were pre-op, and secrets are just as dangerous now. I still struggle with feeling like I'm "enough" and without food to turn to, my choices are a lot more dangerous.

MM- I find this outlet facinating and refreshing. It's great knowing other people are going through this stuff. Knowing that other people have dark thinkg they can only share comfortably anonymously. Thank you.

I love this site but most of the links are broken, especially ones connecting to the home page. Just thought you might want to know. Best of luck.

Is there anyone in Australia that knows where to purchase the products on Melting Mama's site?
Feel so left out of the world

Glad for this site, yes I do binge on crackers, green olives & cream cheese. I found when I was upset I started to binge on this food. But, on a positive point I do freeze my yogurt and eat it frozen like having ice cream. I had G.B.in June 2008 and have gained 30 lbs back of original 137 lost. Trying hard, but I have had both hips & both knees replaced and couldn't exercise and even now some spine issues. I live alone and food is my friend that makes me happy when I am sad, lonely, etc. I do not want to go back to Overeaters Anonymous- which is like a crutch - I am stumped as to what to do. Guess up my protein but, I hate the Whey with Splenda, I'm on S.S. and cannot afford what the working people can afford.

"A lot of people who undergo weight loss surgery are told that having the surgery would be a cure for a their fat "disease" and life. " WAIT A DAMN MINUTE.. if ANYONE was told it would be a 'cure', their surgeon was a money grubbing quack and they failed to do their homework. Cutting, stapling, banding or otherwise engineering weight loss is NEVER a cure for the issues behind it. That being said, any secrets shared are rather moot as they are not related to the surgery that modified the body to lose weight, but to the brain in that altered body. I'm imperfect, surgery did not 'cure' my 'disease' but gave me a tool that helped inspire me to work on 'fixing' those things while getting healthier both physically and mentally. YMMV.
