Hi I go on 9-18 & get my surgery date but I CAN'T STOP EATING!! I've done so well the last three months and lost 35 lbs for the surgery but the closer I get to finally getting my date I overeat! UGH, I'm so frustrated with myself I've done so good and now I don't know what's going on in my head.

I meant 9-19

Don't feel alone! I completely understand... My surgery is one month away & I have been eating like crazy. I think it has something to do with "thinking" I'm never going to be able to eat certain things again (or at least for a very long time). I'm trying to eat better but this past week has been full of bad choices.

I understand what you are going through. I find my self doing the same thing, some days I'm on a very good diet of fruit, veggies, Protein shakes tons of Water and Vitamins but the next day I'm ordering pizza. I have 32 days until my surgery and I'm not on my per op diet just yet so I think mentally to deal with my stress of the surgery and the fact that I will be without these foods that I love so much for quite awhile, I'm so called "getting it in" while I can.

If it gets to out of hand I take an appetite suppressant to kill the cravings, this always get's me back on track. I know that I'm going to have to take them while I'm on my liver shrinking diet just before my date.
