I am not quite 3 years post-sleeve. My question and request for comment is about my/our relationship with food post sleeve.
I have definitely NOT had any hunger since sleeve. None. Ever. I think for the most part I hear the "full" message early unless I eat too fast (which as a working mom of 4 for most of my life, I learned).
That said, I no longer care about a lot of foods that I used to think I needed.
I seem to hit healthy choices and portions about 85% of the time.
I find when I am tired from lack of sleep (happens a lot) or ill, I tend to eat small amounts all day, which ends up being too much.
The QUESTION is, do we ever reach (or how do we) have a relationship with food that doesn't include measuring, tracking etc? Short of eating the same thing everyday, I'm not there yet for certain.
I have found my "normal" fluctuation is 1-3.5 lbs a week. So even though I weigh every morning, I don't freak out.
Thoughts? And thanks!
