You need to follow your plan. This early out, you could seriously injure yourself by doing crap like that. Plus why are you already trying to sabotage your surgery after only two weeks? Do you have a therapist? It sounds like you've got some issues that need to be addressed.

The surgery and subsequent weight loss make your hormones go completely out of whack, or at least in my case. I'm 33 and I've always had regular periods with minor cravings. Post op, I got my period 1 month, missed it the second month, got it super irregular the 3rd month and literally felt like I wanted to eat everything in the house. I couldn't stop grazing for the life of me. But luckily the crazy cravings only lasted a day or two

That seems normal to me. I was always this way before surgery, a day or two before my period I would be ravenous and nothing would satiate me. I can't speak to after surgery, though I did have my first cycle a week after I got sleeved. It was a totally different experience, but I am still healing, so it's wait and see what happens in the next few cycles.

I feel so hungry a week may be more before my period time and I feel like I can eat anything and any portion actually I do this I ate 3 toast and 200 gr of cheese and then in dinner
I ate chicken fajita with white rice and two large bars of chocolate. I am craving sweets the whole time Is that normal or something wrong going on ?

I am so thankful for the clinic psychologist at the place I had my surgery.

His lesson that he hammers every time he gets the chance is that WLS has 3 major traps:

Trap #1: you will initially lose weight NO MATTER WHAT. You can have the worst habits and diet ever and still lose weight. This is a bad trap as there isn’t negative feedback for unhealthy behaviors.

Trap #2: because of the reduced size of your new digestive tract, you can eat small portions of metabolically disruptive foods (carb-laden and devoid of protein) and be “okay” because it’s only a few bites. Nope,nope,nope! Even in teensy amounts, foods that promote insulin resistance are only going to put you right back into a bad metabolic state over time. Best to avoid them (or save them only for very special occasions) altogether.

Trap #3: You don’t stop becoming a “fat” person just because you lost a bunch of weight.
It’s kind of like being a smoker or an alcoholic. Just because you’re not actively smoking or drinking, it doesn’t mean you can magically pick up smoking or drinking again and not expect difficult consequences. Fat brains stay fat brains for life and we need to be ever-diligent to not fall into any of the “fat” behaviors that got us needing WLS in the first place.

I actually wrote all of these traps down after my sessions with him and I keep them taped to a cork board in my bedroom. I see them every day and try my best each day to keep those lessons close to heart.

I understand how weight gain can mess with your head. You are not alone. Many are here working a weight gain off on their own or having revisions. Surgery is only a tool. I think @round2wi explained things better than I ever could. Counseling is a good option to address your overeating issues.
As for stretching, get it diagnosed by a surgeon to see if its due to complications, a botched surgery or overeating. If its overeating, get counseling so that you don’t stretch a second surgery.
What I wish sleeve patients would know before surgery. (this might not be your situation)
The sleeve might not be the right choice for some people. Your restriction will become less over time. It’s not back to full size but, you can hold more food volume. This is common experience with the sleeve. Just because you we hold more food does not mean we have to eat over our calories and macros and gain weight.
It’s easy to graze/ eat around any type of bariatric surgery. Eating several smaller meals of healthy and non-healthy foods that total over your daily calories/macros. You don’t feel any surgery restriction with small meals. It’s as if you never had surgery. You will gain weight.

I am pre-op for my sleeve so take my advice for what it is!

I had the lap band about 10 years ago, and realize now I was not ready for the band when I had it placed. I am also a over eater and realized through several years of therapy that I actually had BED (Binge Eating Disorder). Once I started to get help for that, everything else fell into line. I am no longer gaining weight but instead am maintaining my weight (I also feel prepared for my sleeve!).
Something to think about, as food is a complex and complicated issue for most of us. If you constantly feel like you are beating your head against a wall, sometimes it is time for some outside help to give you some coping skills. I first started with overeaters anonymous, and then went on to counseling sessions.

Thank you much for this valuable advises and motivation . I am trying now to get back on track it is a real struggle as I don't feel restriction anymore and I can eat anything but I will keep trying also I had severe acid reflux

I am trying to be healthier in my food choices hope it will work thank you so much

I agree with what FluffyChix said about going back to the basics for a while to get back on track. Eating healthier will help with the acid reflux too

My advice? Go back to basics of your "forever plan".
Eat ONLY the amount of volume they tell you per meal. If you can eat only 3 meals per day and meet your protein needs do so--cut out the snacking!!! Clean your pantry, fridge, freezer out. Recommit to your new body! You deserve this! Quit cheating, break up with your old ways again, kick the crap to the curb!!!!
Weigh yourself daily.
Plan your meals, and log every bit in a fitness app like MFP.
Exercise daily.
Eat to your rules and get in the amount of protein your doc and RD told you to eat daily and make sure you are taking your vitamins. You might also call your surgeon to see him/her and get a referral to your RD for a new plan to combat this.
1. Eat 2-4oz of lean dense protein per meal.
2. Eat 1-2oz of al dente veggies per meal.
3. Eat a little healthy fat with every meal (1tsp of evoo or avocado oil or butter OR 1oz of avocado OR 1/2oz nuts)
4. No drinking 15 minutes before a meal or at least 1hour after.
Get enough sleep each night.
Try to deep breath and get stress relieving things on board.
Congrats on your losses so far and on recognizing the need to get back to being serious about health!
