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. : )

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
