The thing is, at some point you want a thin mentality to take over. You want to realize that even though you missed lunch, you really don’t feel like much for dinner, so you have a low carb cookie and go to bed. NOT FORCED, but natural. I have been possessed by an alien, I think. But my slab-of-ribs southern mentality is now a bowl of collard greens and a few bites of leftover whatever.

WE ALL NEED TO DETERMINE OUR OWN COURSE. But I agree 100% with you that surgery isn’t the right choice.
