I'm an emotional eater as well. Let me just say: "binges" after being sleeved usually can't hit high amount of calories. But, try to make smart choices about what you binge on. I was crying and saying f you to the world last week and I binged on a salad. Sounds stupid right? But that huge salad was my entire meal all day. I don't force food down my throat, one I'm full full, I'm done.

You physically will not be able to eat a lot of food at one time. I suggest also talking to a psychologist. They can help you.

And....

Just so you know, bulimia doesn't really work with the sleeve. Maybe it's just me, but I physically can't throw up. No matter if I'm sick or trying to do it myself. Nothing comes back up.

Just something to think about.

      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.
