Crazy Over Eating



Recommended Posts

I think my doctor sent in all my info to the insurance today. So I am waiting on the word. Since I started on this journey a few months ago I have been eating like crazy. I can't seem to get a hold of myself. Anyone else do that?

I ate several things I really liked but hardly ever ate because they are terrible for you. But thought may as well eat this now ill probably never eat it again!! I didn't over do it tho.

Chili cheese fries

Carne Asada nachos

Ribs

Mac n cheese

Pulled pork

Yeah the 5 weeks leading up to approval I had 1 thing off that list a week.. I tried to control my desire to binge!

But I did eat crap before I was approved

I had a food funeral before my surgery as well. I ate the things I knew I would never eat again especially in that amount...

I am glad I did it..The last meal I had was curried meatballs and rice...my favorite! No regrets here...never lost any weight that 2 weeks but I did not care as I would have the rest of my life to lose weight.....

Yes, I ate whatever I wanted (pretty much) between my initial consultation and day of surgery. I felt a litte bit out of control, but in the same way that I felt out of control when I failed at a diet. I gained 7 pounds between May 1 and July 9.

I tried to have a food.funeral the day before my liquid diet started and piled my plate with food only to get full a fourth of the way through!

My surgeon would say never, ever, not now, not later should you eat those crap foods. BUT we all go through the mental struggle and sometimes we need a food funeral like saying goodbye to a security blanket.

Fact is, one can eat most of those foods again very soon post op if we try. The decision not to do it AFTER surgery is the more important one.

      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.
