I expected to look and feel better, even younger. I expected to be able to improve my overall condition.
But, I suffered from something like undiagnosed ADD my whole life. I found it particularly difficult to organize or follow through witrh projects or hobbies very well . But this area of my life has seen dramatic improvement since surgery. I'm exercising daily, building decks, properly addressing my hobbies and responsibilities around the house and more organized at work ,better than ever, better than when I was young and thin. I'm trying to seek the connection to pass on to family members with similar issues.
Is it somehow the surgery? Or was it the crap in all that processed food?

A lot of it has to do with the confidence you are gaining by losing weight.
I have been like you my whole life, when my weight is in check my ADD symptoms are long gone. I am organized, energetic and follow through with plans and hobbies.
The only way I can really explain is "you feel well you do well" make sense?
I have a family member who seems to be suffering from adult add with his life just stagnating because of it. But he also has a terrible, I mean truely terrible diet of processed foods and carbs.
