Help, I can't stop eating

hello everyone, i am getting sleeved on January 31st and i can't stop eating all my favorite foods i won't eat again in excess. I have my days mapped out as to what i will be eating. this weekend i ate donuts (which i stopped eating years ago), kingcake, seafood buffet on fri and sat night. Monday i will eat buffalo wild wings , tuesday i will eat boiled shrimp, crabs and spicy boiled crawfish, that morning i will eat Ihop egg omelet. wednesday is the day i have to drink liquids after 10am.. i am getting nervous and i cant stop eating. i hope my poor eating habits isnt an indication that i will have trouble after getting sleeved. Has anyone else ate their favorite foods a few days before surgery? Good luck everyone, i hope i carve my cravings before surgery, lol.

  • I want to preface by saying that I am not trying to be judgmental or critical or harsh. But you CAN stop eating. The issue with allowing yourself to address the problem (compulsive overeating, bi

    You can relax, because you are normal. I too began to eat everything right before surgery due to being afraid to not ever be able to eat those items again. I hadn't had a whopper from Burger King l

A lot of people go through this. I had a 2 week pre-op diet that I lost 20 pounds on, but the month before that was a complete free-for-all. I ate out 3 meals per day. I hate HUGE amounts of food (we're talking six Breakfast tacos). It was ugly. I gained 5 pounds. In some ways it was healing though. It got it out of my system. I was totally miserable, but once that 2 week point hit, I put it aside and moved forward.

It's odd. I've still binged (well, as much as you can after surgery - which is a lot more than you think if it's chips or something!) a few times, but it's never as satisifying. I like to think it's because of the head work I've done, so while I'm doing it, I totally know WHY I'm doing it and am able to talk myself either out of it or through it.

Obviously, I didn't get to 375 pounds because I was hungry. And I didn't get to 164 pounds now without doing a lot of work.

Wow that's a lot of weight you've lost, looks like your hard work and dedication has paid off. :)

It's called a food funeral. I live in New Orleans I started my pre op diet in October and every weekend my husband and I went our favorite places to eat and eat our favorite foods. Until the doc Rx pre op diet now we are on the strick diet I still had boiled shrimp lastnight it was in a salad. The only thing I missed is the king cake :/
