A lot of weight loss as an after-effect of surgery will be water weight, as a result of less food being in your system, and less water to compensate for glycogen storages etc - so yes initially weight will return but if your diet is controlled then it is unlikely a significant amount of it will be fat. It'll come down to the extent at which your body may have been starving after the surgery as to wheather your metabolism has been affected but if it was only a short period of time it should be fine. :)

I often have ice cream and dark chocolate...they can fit into your diet; just eat a little bit and not both every day.

bfast - oatmeal with sultanas and bran flakes

lunch - oatmeal with cinnamon

snack - callipo gelato (out @ the beach with friends!)

dinner - chicken breast sub w/ cranberry sauce and mixed salad

after dinner - apple, and chocolate :D

- I eat with miniture utensiles, and eat out of undersized servewere. ie, teaspones, cake forks, eating out of drinking glasses etc...

- I avoid eating full servings of carbohydrates w/ dinner, eg if we have chicken+rice for dinner I'll pick the chicken out of the rice. 

- I perfer eating alone...

- I get really agitated if we have to go out for dinner/lunch - I refuse to be apart of the 'where should we go?' discussion, and I dread the whole experience.

- I get agitated also WAITING for food, as if I'm inately concerned that I will never be fed. I get really mean if my mum is cooking dinner and it's taking too long.

- I wander around the kitchen looking in the cupboard/fridge thinking I want to eat something when I'm not hungry...and i'll pick at weird things like teaspoon of jam etc.. 

I am a US size 4 on the bottom, and 2 on the top. Dresses are usually 2 unless they're particulary shaped around the hips.

I'm around 112 - 114lbs now...even when I was 100lbs I still couldn't get lower than a size 3 in jeans! 

Damn my big ass :(

yeah it's true, if you don't eat enough you have nothing to poop out and any bowl movement becaues extremely difficult and infrequent...just because there's so little there.

I'm sorry but I think that it's kind of selfish to assume that "she will not die" because you think she's like you. I do condone the fact that she shouldn't be given attention, but making such a generalization about her with having such little information about her is slightly ignorant.

To me, it sounds like she's scared of herself at the moment and she's seeking help. I'm glad that she's taking action instead of letting herself fall further into the harm that she's doing to herself.

 I don't particulary want to start an argument, but I don't appreciate being called selfish+ignorant for making what I think is a justified claim. :/ (and I certinly don't think she will not die because she is "like me")

She won't die, and I stand by that. She is not living alone, she has her mother checking on her...you have to accept that outside of that there is little else to do to interfer. She has resources around her to live, she just has to decide to use them.
