Im hoping to have RNY before the end year. I've finished my weight loss trial and going thru all the other requireents for surgery. But now that I know I've made up my mind and Im doing it, why do I feel like I need to eat everything because I will never be able to eat it again? Did anyone else feel this way or are they going thru this now? Some days I do well and others I feel like its the last supper. Please advise.

Thanks

I felt the exact same way soon after I made the decision to pursue weight loss surgery. Took me a couple weeks and gaining a couple pounds to get a grip and slow down. I needed to make sure I didn't gain weight on my three months medically managed weight loss for my insurance. Needless to say I got real strict real fast on my eating and was able to lose 5 pounds in July. But the feeling is totally normal and understandable . Everything I've been reading and researching points to the fact that 6 months to a year out will be able to eat a few bites of some things we like . It just takes awhile for the pouch to heal and to become less sensitive. I'm still doing the three-month processing of my insurance requirements but hoping to have surgery in the end of October

One thing I did do was to buy protein bars and protein powders that I like so whatever I have an urge to eat something bad I grabbed a protein bar and that's helped

Thanks guys. Im trying so hard. I think part of it is that I had to go on a round of prednisone for my sciatic nerve and we all know it makes you hungry; so I know ive gained a few lbs. They didn't tell me I couldnt gain. Oh well...my last weigh in is Friday so maybe they will take all that into consideration... I've started trying to drink protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. I pray I get myself together fast!!!! Thanks again.

Hang in there and keep drinking those shakes to keep your protein up and your carbs down.

I can appreciate what you're saying about having that feeling of "never being able to eat certain foods again". I just got approved for my for my surgery. I don't have a date as of yet. I love to bake and I feel the need to bake. I need to get it together. I really want to be successful. I really dread the Protein shakes that I've tried. I thought that the fuzzy navel nectar would be good maybe I didn't use the right combination of ingredients, it was terrible to me. I'm going to try the unjury protein a lot of people claim that its really good. Luckily, I can get a sample package. Hopefully, we both will get it together and get a routine with those shakes.

Hi one thing I forgot to mention is that I'm doing the My Fitness Pal app . It's really helpful to keep track of what you're eating but more importantly keeps track of your calories for the day and make sure to be mindful not to go over a certain amount . It's really easy to use once you get on there and get the hang of it. I suggest you guys give it a try I think you'll find it very helpful and the app is free

I was asking can you add me as a friend on Fitness Pal

I can add you as a friend on My Fitness Pal but I think I need your contact information or your Facebook information. I haven't added anyone as a friend on Fitness Pal so you would be the first one and I'm just going by what the Fitness Pal prompt said to add a friend. But I definitely would do it if we can figure it out between the two of us

Oh lord thank you. Im finally trying to reel it in. I know its a mind thing. Im now at the point where nothing is even good to me anymore. So I think this week I will be able to tame those feelings of "eat it now because you won't be able to later". I thought I was the only one who felt like that. Luckily Im not gaining. So ready to get started. My pre op will be 5 days clear liquids with the last 2 days cleaning my guts for surgery. My center of excellence is having a bariatrics fashion show Monday night. Some of the ones who have already had surgery will be modeling....Im excited to be attending it to see what I will look like next year!!! Psych eval on Thursday so Im moving right along. Thanks!!!
