Binge Eaters slow loser?



Recommended Posts

For all of us binge eaters that were active before being sleeved. Are you a slow loser? I wanted to check in with all my binge eater sisters/brothers.

I was a bad binge eater would not eat all day till 5/6pm then eat all night or skip a day and binge eat for a day. I was active as well 3 kids and running a company so was always out and about. So I get the sleeve and now I feel like I eat more now then I did before I was sleeved. I move around the same now as I did before. I have only lost about 40lbs in 15 weeks of being sleeved. I always stall out in a 7 week stall ATM. I know I can not be the only one so posting to see is binge eating has something to do with be slow.

TK you for reading and yeah my typing skills on this phone suck sorry about that :)

40 lbs in 15 weeks (AKA not quite 4 months!!) you are right on target, you are doing great :)

you said you feel like you eat more now than you did before you were sleeved??

never understand statements like that (you are not the only one that says that)

if at this point your NUT has you at 1/3 cup - then thats all you should put on your small plate.

don't put more on the plate, then you won't know you can eat more - knock it off :lol:

i was also a binge eater. ended up not eating til late in the day like you - then just kept eating- or sometimes i would graze all day :ph34r:

these are the awful habits that i dealt with, and maybe sometimes want to and DO graze on a rare occassion :angry: no one is perfect

to answer your question about binge eaters being slower in their weight loss??? my answer is no - that didn't happen to me

13 months PO - down 103 lbs GOAL - lost most by 10 months :)

like i said - i think your weight loss is great - you are not a slow loser IMO

watch the portions - don't put a larger amount on your plate - then you won't be testing yourself

good luck bud

congrats on 40 lbs

WooHoo

I am 15 weeks out too (sleeve surgery Oct 3rd) and I am down 44 pounds. I would say you are right on target. At least I think I am on target. 40 pounds in 15 weeks is approximately 2.66 pounds per week. That is normal, healthy weight loss. I have always been a slow loser too, but I don't worry about the amount of weight loss everyweek, just that I am losing and not gaining. I have never been a binge eater; however, I used to take in the largest majority of my calories in the evening and I (like you) find myself eating all day now (stoking the metabolism fire). Good Luck to you! Keep us all posted on your progress.

It's 31 sorry hit the wrong keys on the phone so that's been 2 a week for 15 weeks. Sleeved 9/26/12 I count 7 days after that makes me 15 weeks. I lost 10 on the preop but I only count after the sleeve. My doc and nut both say I am slow and they thought it be more like 45/60 at my last app Thursday. I can not eat more then 2/3 oz at a time I eat 6 times a day. I still find time for workouts and get in 75/90 Protein 65/80 ounces of Water a day carbs norm 20/50.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
