You will do great! Its not that you can't ever eat those foods, just in small portions and as a treat. :)

I'm goin try not eat Bad food after the surgery it's Hard for me to justs eat a little bit I'm emotional eater and I used to be Bulimic food is all I think about I justs Hope I get on the right track I don't wanna be Failure people already tellin it's not goin work I want to prove them wrong and prove to myself I can do it

I'm an emotional eater as well. Let me just say: "binges" after being sleeved usually can't hit high amount of calories. But, try to make smart choices about what you binge on. I was crying and saying f you to the world last week and I binged on a salad. Sounds stupid right? But that huge salad was my entire meal all day. I don't force food down my throat, one I'm full full, I'm done.

You physically will not be able to eat a lot of food at one time. I suggest also talking to a psychologist. They can help you.

And....

Just so you know, bulimia doesn't really work with the sleeve. Maybe it's just me, but I physically can't throw up. No matter if I'm sick or trying to do it myself. Nothing comes back up.

Just something to think about.
