Sometimes I am not all that bright



Recommended Posts

I over ate for the first time today. It's been over a month since I did something like this, so I am impressed that I could wait this long. I used to be a binge eater. Tonight, the baby and I made pizzas with tortillas, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. I cut mine into 1/8ths and attempted to eat 3 slices. Halfway through the second I felt a pain in my chest. It went away after a minute so "Bingerella" here decided to keep going. OMG! I will try my best to NEVER do that again.

Two more bites and I had a constant painful lump in my chest. I wanted to throw up or beat on my chest like a crazy person. The last bite I spit out on my plate because I couldn't bear the thought of swallowing it.

So for those who were concerned that they may binge again with the sleeve, let me tell you that the physical deterrent is enough for me!

"bingerella" - Love it :)) I ate too fast on 2 occasions and also had horrible chest pain so I forced myself to throw up. Now I eat very slowly and chew everything to death!

Negative re-enforcement is a great teacher! I have done this a couple of times too (circa: pre-sleeve days) and now have NO PROBLEM stopping once I feel full!! I love my sleeve!!

Becareful, I think i've read another post of your's like this. You may cause yourself to get a leak in your staple line by putting so much pressure on a new sleeve. If you think that's something to sneeze at, it's not. My friend had the DS, lost 40lbs to be put on TPN (iv nutrition) for 3 weeks where she gained back almost 30lbs setting her weight loss back, and that's the least of your worries if you have a leak.

      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.
