Binge eating treatment b4 RNYGB



Recommended Posts

I see many people discuss food relationships in post-sugery forums. While I'm scared, I know I did the right thing by taking a year in a binge eating treatment program to give me the tools & skils to be successful long-term. I will promote this every chance I get. I did not want to go thru surgery only to rebound. My program taught me how to regard food as other than a reward system or addiction. I do still need the surgery to lose the weight & control my diabetes. The program taught me to maintain and follow a plan. We all should have this training before surgery to better influence success. I will share so much more.

I agree it's a really important part of the journey. I have a lap band and was very unsuccessful. I'm now scheduled for revision to bypass next month. I have been through an eating disorder program and feel like I now have the tools to be more successful this time. Sadly I am now 63 and the support groups at the eating disorder clinic aren't covered by medicare. I wish I could find a once a week support group instead if once a month.

Addiction? What do you mean? I am not addicted. I only eat because I am lonely. Or stressed. Or worried. Or celebrating. Or cross. Or busy. Or bored. Or hungry. Or watching tv. Or on the phone. Or tired. Or contented. Or to relax. Or ... oh. I see. 😉

I agree. Unless I get my mindful eating practices back, I am going to have a much harder time of this surgery...

Thanks

I hope they are out there for you, they can't be easy to find. A therapist from my binge eating program went out on her own and is running a weekly group, otherwise all I oul have is the after care program.
