I'm 5 months post-op. I've only lost about 40 pounds. I'm not following the rules as well as I should because I can feel myself giving up emotionally. Today I ate an entire thin crust personal pizza. I have a full time job and finals in grad school, my stress level is insane, and i ate that pizza. I can't even believe I finished it. Didn't get sick, didn't feel uncomfortable. I feel like my stomach is back to normal.
I'm totally aware that I'm not going to get anywhere by not following the rules and I have a serious addition to food and seek comfort from it. I know it's my fault and if I fall off I just need to get back on if I want to be healthy.
But why was I able to eat that pizza without feeling sick? Is it possible that the stomach can stretch back to normal after 5 months.
I feel lost and hopeless and looking for support. Would appreciate some of your thoughts. Feel free to be hard on me. My mistakes are my mistakes.
