@@Katsitsyahawe I think you were suffering from head hunger.
It was cold and you ate something comforting. It made you feel good. You wanted to keep feeling good.
During those times I find that I need to get up and move and do something constructive or just go to bed.

You probably have traded one addiction for another. Seek a counselor.

As I hear it, feeling no regret very likely means that your behavior works for you without necessarily making sense to you. If it does, you fine. It used to be called "playing the field." If it doesn't make sense, then my suggestion is to see a psychologist for help in sorting out the what's and why's and determine what you really, really want.

the stalls are normal. be careful not just how much you eat but what you eat as well. and losing 43 pounds in a month is pretty damn good! it seems like your eating a very small amount by the way. basically you had about 2.4 ounces of food, thats a very very small amount of food. When you say your really hungry are you getting the true rumbling in your gut? if so id recommend using gas x strips trust me when i say a lot of what you think is hunger is really related to gas and the normal new digestion you are having. It takes a bit more than a month to get used to that and understand it.

My surgery went perfect. They said there was no complications and that I am healing well. Yesterday was the first day after my surgery and it was very hard. I was in a lot of pain and had terrible heartburn which caused more pain and nausea. But they kept me in the hospital until they figured out the right medicines to give me. This morning I woke up like a whole new person! I am still sore where they cut my stomach but it's nothing I can't handle. I am just worried about getting all my fluids in. it seems like and impossible task to drink so much Water when my stomach can only handle a tiny sip at a time!

Awesome !!!!!
You done did it !!!!!
Well done. The sipping has become easier for me every day. Now I have to make sure I keep the glass filled with ice and topped off with Water or else I tend to gulp it down (old habits). It's become second nature to have the glass beside me.
I hope you progress well.
You probably already know this, but stay away from the scale for a while. It seems there is a predictable weight gain during our surgeries and hospital stay (IV fluids doing their thing, inflammation Fluid gain, etc). Just stay strict on the diet and know that it'll all flush out in due time.
Great job. You've taken a big step towards becoming healthy. Doing so at a young age is outstanding. Your life will be fun and exiting and HEALTHY. Awesome !!!!

I have 2 days until my surgery and cheated on my pre-op diet. Not only did i cheat but I cheated with an extra large portion. Let me first say, I am not on here to look for acceptance for this or anyone condoning cheating. I don't know what I am posting this for, other than to be accountable to someone somewhere. I am in tears and feeling hopeless. I know this surgery is going to save my life in the long run and I know I truly want it and am ready for it. I understand my emotional eating enough to be aware of all this. When it comes down to it, I simply said "f**k it, go ahead and get it out of your system now, because you are NOT going to mess up after surgery!" Nevertheless, I feel guilty and especially, ashamed, for my actions. I don't know what else to say other than thanks for reading and thanks for participating in this forum so there is a place to open up about these issues.

I am now two months post-op and it has been quite a learning experience dealing with my binge eating disorder. I have found a few things to be true:
Drinking alcohol is not good for my eating. It lowers my inhibitions and I'm more likely to go get food I don't need.
I still eat foods I don't need but I can't eat very much of them so it's an improvement. Still, it slows my weight loss and so I try very hard to keep those things to a minimum.
I will always have an eating disorder and the surgery did not "cure" my desire for food. I am doing well (48 pounds down so far) but every day is a challenge to eat on plan (healthy, Protein, fiber).
I'm so happy I did this surgery. It is nice to have a full feeling after just 5-6 ounces of food. I love food but I'm learning to be happy with just a taste or two and then move on to some other thing that brings me joy.
Don't beat yourself up. You will have many opportunities to do well as you go along.

Don't be too hard on yourself and please don't cry. There are alot of emotional eaters on this forum and we all know what your going through. Just keep moving forward and good luck with your surgery

The hardest thing to face is when you've let yourself down. We have all been there. Emotional eating is something I have to battle on a daily basis. Whenever I am bored or upset I feel hungry. I'm not physically hungry, but it I have to stop myself and say, 'I'm not actually hungry- I'm just bored'. Then I go find something else to do. It feels very strange to NOT eat when I feel like that. It's like I don't know what to do with myself....
Don't be to hard on yourself. After surgery you won't physically be able to binge like that. You probably won't even feel like eating for a while (at least that is how I felt). Like you said- it is MUCH better to get it out of your system now, before surgery, as opposed to dealing with the complications of something happening after surgery. That could literally cost you your life (which I am sure you are well aware of).
I also wanted to mention that my doctor told me to go out and have a nice last meal two days before my surgery. He said it would relax us a bit before surgery. So i don't think you've really done any damage:)

One other thing to keep reminding yourself - you will be able to eat anything you ate before (just not very much and not for many months). So food funerals or bingeing on food pre-surgery isn't necessary. You'll be able to eat that ~whatever~ again.
Thing is, it will be rare occasions, in much smaller amounts, and you may not even want to eat it again after surgery. And you will be FINE with this - it is really amazing how you can change after.
Don't feel bad about cheating; just recommit to sticking as close to the diet as you can, and keep telling yourself this is just a tiny blip of time in the story that is your life. You'll get through this and hardly remember what it felt like so don't dwell too much on it right now.

Hey, I am four years out and recently back and a little ashamed of myself. You are human, love yourself
