Weight gain before surgery

[Nana1222 159]

I have a question. I feel like since I will be having this surgery I am eating more. Ugh I ate so much today I got sick to my stomach can't figure this out. I need to get control. Has this happened to any of you?

Oh yes! This has certainly happened to me. From the day I paid my surgery deposit 3 weeks ago, until today, which is day one of my preop diet, I ate everything in sight. Gained 8 pounds during that 3 week period. I am so disgusted with myself that I'm almost relieved to be on this strict diet prep phase. I'm concerned that I won't be able to controll my food addictions after surgery.

You are so not alone in this! I never even believed that I had a problem with food until this week. I literally sat in my car for an hour after work deciding if I should go through a drive thru or make a sensible meal. It's not easy, but just remember you are worth it and you can do this if you set your mind to it.

I've only gained 4 so far but I'm doing the same thing. I feel like I'll never get the chance to eat again so I have to take advantage of my stomach while I still have it. Almost like I'm on death row and it's my last meals (I'm dramatic)

This surgery will not curb your emotional eating habits, please seek help before you continue on with the surgery, I needed too. Emotional eating will set u back. I did therapy for over two years to help with emotional eating, I finally have it under control. Best of luck on your journey!

I am in the same boat I anow its not right but I keep thinking about one thing or another that I want to have before I can't eat any more. I had a friend call them food funerals I keep picturing head stones with my favorite foods on them. But then I look at zoolily and other cute clothes

I've thought more about the food funerals. Every time I think of adding another food to my grave yard I am going to think of something I will gain by losing weight such as being able to run. and play with my kids or going swimming or wearing what I want so I will use it as a trigger for something to look forward to instead of a reason to eat! We are strong we can do this! No more food funerals for me
