VIDEO - HERSTORY: Vanessa Shares How Her Eating Habits Have Changed

April 10, 2009 - 4:23pm 188 reads 0 comments

Vanessa explains how her eating habits have changed since having gastric bypass surgery.

Vanessa:
Before the surgery, I never was full. I would always eat everything, everything and anything. I wasn’t a picky eater; I am still not a picky eater. After the surgery, though, I do, I can’t even smell anything greasy. It’s just, you know, your body is just turned off by it. And like before I just, I don’t know how to explain it, I could eat anything. I was never like full. I guess like physically I was full, but mentally I wasn’t. Now it’s like I eat like basically like half a sandwich and I am like, “Okay, I feel great.”
