Eating frenzy

[mimi368 0]

I just finished up my 6 months weight loss program and the only appointment I have left is the cardiologist on March 12th. Then everything will be submitted to the insurance for approval so I am hoping for an April surgery date. The problem is all of a sudden I want to eat everything in sight!!! I don't know if it is nerves or what but I feel like I cannot get satisfied and afterwards I feel terrible!

I can empathize, Mimi. The last month before my surgery, I binged non-stop. I was afraid of the surgery. I knew I was standing on the precipice of a major life change, and I knew I was saying goodbye to my previous relationship with food: how I ate,when I ate, how often I ate, how much I ate and what I ate.

Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself. Talk about how you feel with people who care about you, and get all the hugs you can - and keep putting it out here, because we understand. Meanwhile, April is coming.

Bandpal is a smart man!

I think some people refer to it as the "last supper" mode. You want to eat things thinking "this is the last time I may get to eat this".

I understand completely.

Thanks for the replies, Guys. It helps to hear that others have experienced the same feelings. I am actually looking forward to getting the call saying "Start your pre-op diet" and not be in this limbo anymore!
