I'm so frustrated with myself! I'm a little more than 4 months out and I can't stop snacking. I start my day off on the right foot every day but by the afternoon I'm eating chips, cookies, or candy. I think my problem started because I went on vacation for 3 weeks to Europe when I wasa bearly 2 months out.

I had surgery to get healthier, to stop my pains, and stop all the medications. I have been in more pain the last 4 weeks (that's when I had surgery) then I have ever had in my life.
