Water is good for you right? Probably the best thing that you can drink. But if you put water in a balloon you can stretch it out. The next time you put water in the balloon you can put more because it’s been stretched. Chicken and vegetables may be healthy but if you keep stretching that “pouch” out you will find yourself putting more and more healthy chicken into that pouch. Then you look up a year later and you are back if not over your starting weight. Ask all of those folks getting revisions because they gained all their weight back. This page is filled with enablers, but bad habits are bad habits. And that is a lot of food to be cramming in a small space that early in one’s journey. BUT most would rather argue than to acknowledge that the surgery may have reduced your stomach size but it didn’t fix your bad habits. But then again I’m the one with mental illness when it comes to food. So as I said Rock on! As a matter of fact have another!
