Beating myself up!

[scole 3]

I get to meet the surgeon that will be performing my RNY tomorrow. The original surgeon that I met ended up accepting a job elsewhere. I've done a lot of research on this new Dr. I must say I am impressed however, did any of you find yourself eating out of control before your surgery. Overeating is a disease and I'm ready to begin my new life in a much healthier way, but I can't stop eating!!!!

Yes I did/am lol. I thought it was just me....I find myself eating things I haven't had in years just because I know after surgery I won't be able too.

My surgery is June 10th. I keep trying to eat all my favorites. I know I have a few other "last meals" planned but I've way over eaten lately. Didn't help that we were on vacation and had access to great seafood!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I'm hoping to get my surgery date today.

If you can avoid last meal syndrome, I definitely recommend doing that. You'll already have some healthy habits down and may have less to lose after surgery. That being said, I personally did not follow that same advice. I had about a three week period in which I enjoyed many last meals. I'm eight months out from RNY now and down more than 90 pounds. The tool helped me focus and cultivate and maintain good habits in a way I wasn't before. The most important thing is that you put your game face on after surgery, fully dedicate yourself and (perhaps literally) work your butt off.

Congrats on your accomplishment and kind words. My game face in on and so ready. I will keep you posted.

I am still going down my check list getting things done before I am, hopefully, approved for surgery but yes, just today i binged. I don't know why but it seemed like my stomach was a bottomless pit and I just kept eating and eating. It's not usually that bad.
