What am i doing wrong?

Oh and initially the hunger is there with the liquids in the new introduction to food but for me it went away and that I struggled more with knowing when I was hungry and I would wait cannot eat and then all of a sudden I was sick and felt horrible so try to just eat with a schedule leave out carbs for now. Keep it simple your stomach is a baby and has to re-learn how to function. -

Just slow down let your stomach catch up with her head and wait still hungry in 20 minutes trying another bite usually I will feel I may feel still hungry but if I stop and wait 20 minutes I realize that I'm actually full. It will get easier to learn to recognize that that empty bear feeling in your soffit guess is really the food stuck there. Lol. It's not hunger lol. When in doubt wait it out and especially Bacara with any carbs potatoes rice pasta anything of that nature is much harder to break down and takes longer I can eat very little of these things these things also in excess quantity will cause dumping syndrome which if you haven't experienced is very uncomfortable and feels horrible remember this is a marathon not a sprint stick to your numbers the guidelines that they gave you and trying to better the next day and every day you get a little bit better and things will get a little easier and eventually you won't even notice -
I am there sister well but backward I had surgery 2002 and was a normal drinker and after surgery my drinking became unmanageable. But going to the 12 steps is not really that we learned that our life was unmanageable with or without the addiction. And isn't the answer still the 12 steps I am powerless over food instead of alcohol . I came to believe in a power greater than myself could restore me to sanity. I am willing to turn my will and my life over the care of God as I understood him . I made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself . I shared it with God another person ... You know the rest . So I'm not apply the steps to food why not make food your diction why not rework the steps with food and understand that your body will be different but your mind will not Always be an addict you will have to find another solution for me I lost the hundred and 50 pounds in all the time that I've been postsurgical and now I'm in the place where games 50 of the back and miserable but I didn't do that for at least 10 years and so now I'm playing sets to the principles of my life with all of my addictions . The only differences with her other addictions we have to remain abstinent with food we have to use it in moderation we have to eat to live not live to eat and with your new stomach the desire to live to eat will diminish on it's own I found for myself but slowly just as the up session for alcohol is removed if session to eat was removed.. But for the grace of God go I . You can't but he can so let him . Ask God to come into your head every morning before you do thank you every night .
