It's a cold and snowy day here. My husband works nights and is sleeping. It's quiet. There's not much to do. You get the picture...

I pulled out a couple of favorite cookbooks to write down ingredients on my grocery list. I continued browsing and came across 'monkey bread'. If you're not familiar with it, it's simple matter of canned biscuits, cinnamon, sugar and butter.

Oh my gosh. Just seeing that recipe, I could imagine myself sitting there eating as much of it as I wanted. Just chowing down. A binge. That led my mind toward other foods that I'd really like to binge on. It seems my mind is absolutely wrapped around food (or lack thereof) today.

Anybody out there that can empathize?

Dont go there..lol

I bought my family a wurzel bread to go with some butternut Soup I made an for some reason I had to eat bread today!I dont think I've had any bread for 10 months now.

Of course once I started I couldnt stay away from it.AND IT STILL MAKES ME FEEL AS BAD ABOUT MYSELF as in the BAD OLD days!

I hate the fact that carbs can get me so out of control!

Back to good old solid Proteins.Makes me feel goooood!

Bingeing sucks,even sleeve style binge!

Yes, totally! We aren't too far away... SW Ohio here so we are also dealing with the snow and dreary cold days. I live alone and don't have much to do today so I'm enjoying some couch time. These kind of weekends I would look forward to binging and eating as much junk as possible. I loved to order in as much food as possible... three Chinese lunch specials, large pizza and wings, etc. Now I'm thinking about what to have for lunch... hmm, veggie burger or grilled chicken? It can be a tad depressing because food does still excite me. And sometimes I do order pizza... except ate less than half of a small. I don't beat myself up about it but I don't feel too physically well after it either. I'm a boredom eater and this cabin fever is getting the best of me!

So, yes, I understand. We are human.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
