Forgot to answer your question about eating habits! It really wasn't that hard to change because I had lots of preop prep in that regard from the surgeon & nutritionist, and lots of postop followup. And I was mentally really ready to make the changes. Postop I wasn't hungry for 6 months, either, and I only ate because I knew I HAD to, not because I wanted to. That was a huge difference for me because I had a HUGE appetite preop.
Kirsty,
I still dump, even at 4 years postop! But the majority of the time, I feel great without any issues. When I dump, it's because I wasn't careful about what I chose to eat -- mostly with too much sugar or fat. As long as I read labels, I do fine (although I'm HARD HEADED!).
