I have binge eating moments where I can't stop eating. I frantically raid cabinets and make rash trips to the store (usually b/c i try to keep binge foods out of reach) ...I don't know how to describe the feeling but I can't feel ok until I eat and it doesn't need to be large amounts but it's usually high calorie foods....(like today 6 Cookies 130 cals each total of 780cal in one sitting) I compare these binges to being addicted to a drug. I get just as frantic before an episode as a junkie would looking for his next fix and the feeling that washes over me when I finally eat is like a drug high in itself. I know a lot of this is mental and I'm dead scared that I'm going to get WLS just to find out that the addiction is still there cuz surgery doesn't cure the head hunger. I know that my problem is that I am a compulsive over-eater I've been to treatment for it and believe it or not it's actually a lot better now than it used to be but it's still a part of my life and I want it gone post surgery! But I guess what I'm asking is this: Has anybody had this BEFORE surgery and had it go away or if not HOW have you dealt with it post surgery? I hear that the sleeve completely changes your relationship with food, is this TRUE? I appreciate everyone's responses ....thank you!!!
