Ooops..i'm Overeating



Recommended Posts

Because I know that my surgery is coming up. it's like I'm eating stuff that I know I shouldn't eat post op. Like a starving person on death row. Is this normal to be so gluttonous before my upcoming surgery?

I'm not sure if its normal but I'm doing it too! I feel guilty but just can't seem to stop. That's how I got in this mess in the first place I know but sheesh... I don't start preop diet till next Thursday and my docs not real strict on that anyway. I haven't stepped on a scale in weeks to scarred to see the number. I'm actually excited for it to be mandatory that I do the preop diet maybe I can stick to it better .. I think I'm going to do two Breakfast and lunch shakes then high Protein dinner

Yup, perfectly normal. Not doctor recommended but perfectly normal. I ate everything that stood still in front of me long enough the two week prior to my one week pre- op diet . :)

OMG! Me tooooo! I feel like for once in my life I am not "watching" what I eat. Sometimes I enjoy it and sometimes I get upset with myself because I do it even when not hungry. As if I am never going to see this food again. It's crazy because although my tastebuds are having fun, I physically feel gross. Ugh..can't wait to be on the otherside!

      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.
