  1. I had my bypass 6 days ago and a surprise hernia repair. I’m healing nicely but have some constant low-level nausea. Now things like scented candles, my shampoo, dryer sheets, etc. are bothering me. I also get these phantom smells - where’s that cinnamon coming from?? It’s weird! Anyone relate?
  2. My rny is scheduled for Jan. 6. I'm as ready as I can be, but I have this gnawing fear that I will go through all of this and it just won't work. I've been a yo-yo dieter for so long that my last couple of attempts had zero weight loss - my body was so used to me trying to restrict that it just held onto the weight. Is this an irrational fear?
  3. I’m scheduled for surgery in Jan 2020. My biggest fear is gaining the weight back. My therapist recommended I get treatment for my BED at a clinic, and I’m about 2 weeks into my intensive outpatient program. It’s hard, but I see the value. The hardest part has been accepting that my disordered eating is something that requires treatment, not just a lack of willpower and character. Has anyone else had treatment prior to surgery? After? How does life look when you get back to normalized eating? I’m also happy to answer any questions if anyone is considering treatment.
