Eating Blow Out.....



Recommended Posts

A couple of nights ago I started eating and couldn't stop myself. Over a period of say 2hrs I'd eaten heaps of junk! I was so concerned I'd stretched my sleeve however yesterday I was back eating like a bird again.....weird, has anyone else had the same experience?

Yup! We are recovering from our youngests sweet 16 birthday - with a house full of houseguests for a week - lots of stuff in the house that the adults who live here, and who have both had vsg surgery no longer eat, eating out, off of our normal routine etc....For me it is carbs - I have a hamburger bun and I turn into Mrs. Hyde - obsessed with all of the carbs in the house - scheming to eat potato chips etc....I am back to bootcamp now - cutting carbs to under 20.

I have found it is a whole lot easier to eat a lot more of the stuff we shouldnt be eating. I get in trouble if i do not plan my meals and drinking - grazing will stall my weight loss quickly.

Funny, I was going to post something similar today. I had a random day yesterday. Went out to lunch with my daughter and had a wine and potatoes. Went to dinner at my sisters and grazed on a platter of cheese, pickles (which I didn't like per sleeve), pâté and crackers while sharing more than a bottle of wine. Then we had BBQ though I only ate the venison steak but an hour later I had ICE CREAM! Insane. Gets worse as before we went home I had a hot chocolate.

Can't quite believe I ate all that.

Funny thing is I weighed myself this morning with a heavy air of remorse and guilt, but lost 1.2 kilos since yesterday morning. So, guilt gone and back on my sensible and usual eating regime today!

It is weird how our sleeves are.

Some days mine is really tolerant and can fit in what feels like so much food and other days it is bird sized meals.

As a female there are specific days that my stomach seems to be regular size again, but most the time the food is slider food I am consuming, so more goes in.

With relation to the binging and loosing weight, often our bodies do that , i think there is an article on this site about that, it is fairly normal for dieting as well. Our bodies often go into starvation mode as they call it and then we eat more calories than normal and all of a sudden it is like woohoo I dont need to hold onto every calorie consumed and we loose weight....no to say we should binge eat all the time, that is for me atleast how I got into this situation in the first place.

Just my 2c

      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.
