Eating out of controll



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist told me that "last meal" eating is normal. I did really did not do all that much damage and now 7 weeks after my sleeve I am doing fine.

Thank you,

It is very incouraging to hear that. I am so grateful to have everyone posting on this forum and finding it when I did. I am trying to stay positive even in the down moments. I am hoping to hear if I get an approval this week from the insurance. If everything had went as planned, I would have had surgery back in August of this year, but I am getting closer now that I have made it through all the setbacks. I am getting more and more anxious to have the surgery, maybe that is one reason that I have been turning to comfort foods. I will get back on track, because I will be starting on my pre-op diet soon, if I get approved for the surgery. How much weight have you lost in 7 weeks? I hope you continue to do fine. Have a good day!

I made the final decision on being sleeved about a month ago after much research. Since then I've been thinking about this and, to my major shock, I have not gone off on any sort of eat till I drop binge. Instead, just one thing is in my mind. I love movie popcorn. And before I am sleeved, I am going to go to a movie alone and get the big popcorn, big soda, sit back, relax and dive in. It's funny because I very rarely get popcorn because of the $$ and I never get a soda at the theater. Maybe that's why it feels like it would be such a generous splurge to myself. Because I want to ween off the soda early in this process, I think I will do this within the next 2 or 3 weeks. And, I have no idea why this sticks out as my last hurrah (how sad is that!!!) but I'm going for it. I'll let you all know when I'm done licking my fingers. : )

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
