I’m month away from having gastric sleeve,

i know I’m supposed to eat as healthy as possible, but I have food addiction issues. Anybody else suffer from binge eating disorder? And were you successful with weight loss and maintenance after surgery?

I have not had my surgery yet....2 days I will. But I struggle with all this at times as well and 1 thing I have been working on is listening to my stomach and not my head. It's hard ik but keep at it. My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet so I have been really struggling these last few weeks to keep myself in check before my surgery. Best of luck to you! :-)

Sunshine Princess🌞OMG I completely forgot it was getting that close! Hey I will be praying for a smooth surgical day and good healing for you, but honey it has got to be so exciting. I hope I'm within a month of mine, I'll find out on the 24th. I so want to join you in surgery-land! I guess I'm not as patient as I should be.😪

My surgery is scheduled for May 24th as well. My doctor also doesn’t require a pre-op diet but I’m trying to do it for the next 3 days just to see if I can and to “detox” from all the crap I’ve been eating. It’s only been a few hours and I’m already trying to convince myself to eat.

well guys, I've been recording on My Fitness Pal, most days I don't even make the calorie count the app assigned, well yesterday was screwy, no I didn't binge, I just didn't eat my vegie, Protein and salad like I usually Dom Replaced 2 meals with shakes, and that lowered it down. I think they had planned to review a months worth, well they'll get 3 and half weeks and they'd better like it. I didn't get around to reactivating it until May 1st. Didn't even do it,on this smartphone. Now don't laugh too bad, this sounds silly, but I've forgotten the password for this one so did it on my Samsung instead. Remember how everyone made fun of President,Imelda Marcos of the Philippines for having closet after closet of shoes. Well, I'm like that with cellphones and each one has a name. That way when I update my contact list you might think I have a lot of friends, nope 4 of them are phones. If I'm weird it's an interesting weird, isn't it? This one is Malachy, because that means messenger, the one My Fitness Pal is on is registered as DF Magee, although I usually call it Moon Cat for the cute wallpaper theme, then I have a Nought Android( the latest currently available) that's Antonio Sanchez and an older Lollipop called Toto Ferguson. My son only has two, an aged ,well a couple years old and in electronic land that's practically senile named Fernando after the Abba song, he keeps saying he's going,to retire it but it has his songs from Google Play on it and as long as poor old Fernando can still call out he hates to do it. When I got Moon Cat he wanted a new one too, its contact,name is Eugene Throckmorten and it has a Moon Panda motif, he just still keeps old Fernando active too. So Frustr8 and her mini me son, we are phone weird! Did I give you a little chuckle❓😝

Same. my 2 week pre op diet isn't all liquid. I can have shakes, Protein Bars, fruit and veggie. problem is, most Protein bars have chocolate in them and that's a HUGE no no for me. it has sparked bad eating habits. I've got 1 week to go and I had to cut them from my meals. I replaced them with home made Soup instead. it kind of surprised me. I had burgers and dogs over the weekend. but as of this morning i'm putting my own foot down. the last thing I want is for my liver to be too large and get denied the surgery. so i'm peptalking myself. I can do this!

      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.
