I have had gastric bypass surgery.
Try this just for 1 month.. CONSULT DOCTOR FIRST.
Keep a Food Diary of everything you eat , and drink, and your moods when your eating.
Look at your hand. Without fingers and thumb... The palm of your hand.. Is the size of meat you eat. Meat Chicken Pork, Fish, That is the serving you eat. Doesn't matter if your hand is small are large.
Turn your hand Sideways. That is the thickness of your meat/fish/chicken/pork Portion you should be eating.
Cup your hand. That is the size vegitable Serving you should have per meal. Or Serving of Dry Rice. Prior to cooking rice.
2 Cupped hands is the size of Salad Leaves you should have. if it runs over DON'T eat what falls.
Refrain from Butter, and Extra salt.
DRINK WATER !! Everytime you feel hungry..DRINK WATER. sometimes hunger is mistaken for actually being dehydrated.
If you are unable to get to a gym or walk .. Lift your legs when sitting down. Grab a can of corn or peas, and lift them in your hands, raise your arms above your head. You do not need to work out to exercise. Every 10 minutes out of an hour..Get up ... walk around the room for 10 minutes if possiable. Start at 2 minutes and work your way up. the more your able to move..walk for longer..just around your house. at first..then start going farther..
I am not medically trained ..This is what I was taught during the first few months of my post op surgery. IF I could have done this previous to weightloss surgery, I really wouldn't have needed it..but truth is..I couldn't control my food. IT IS OKAY to ask for HELP.
It is okay...to want the surgery... But do consult your doctor before trying what I have said as you might have other medical problems that I do not know about.
Good Luck ..you can always contact me
