Eating everything in site....



Recommended Posts

I want to see if anyone else has does this with their band. For the last week, I have eaten everything in site... of course, with the band it all comes right back up.... I feel like I'm Bulemic (sp?).... The only positive is at least with the band, the food doesn't reach the acid in my stomach. Help please!!! :thumbup:

You need to try and see if you can figure out what is triggering this. Is it emotional...boredom...hormonal? Contintuing to eat that way could at the very least hinder weight loss and at worst cause damage.

Stick to three meals a day and when you want to eat between meals stop, try to drink a bottle of Water or do some cardio or even a small walk. Tell yourself that you can have what you want but not until your next meal. Watch your white carbs. Things like bread, crackers, chips, Pasta, potato, rice and sugar will trigger cravings for even more carbs.

It is hard but if you stay strong it will eventually get easier. It may help to get counseling or talk to your nutritionist.

If you are truly tummy rumbling hungry when you eat then you may need a fill but because the food is coming back up, it sounds like you are eating when your pouch is full, eating past full or eating too fast.

      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.
