Bariatric surgery is NOT a cure. You have to police yourself as time
goes on. It is a good head start, that's all. You actually CANNOT
cheat. You go to a party or a gathering, and all you can have is a
protein shake which you have brought with you in your little lunch
bag. All I care about is that I am not so hungry and I am able to
satisfy my hunger easily with a very small amount of food at this
point. We will see where the journey goes.
