Dumping really sucks. Usually having it happen to you once is enough for most people to .never want it to happen again.

You need to remind yourself why you had major surgery. You've been through so much. Put that junk that you are stuffing in your face in the trash and to the curb. If it's not in the house you can't eat it. You've got to get yourself together and back on track. I highly recommend a therapist. Couldn't live without mine :) You can do this.

I suggest seeing a psychiatrist. I've seen many psychotherapists, some specializing in eating disorders and somehow we never narrowed my issues down to OCD. If you are a compulsive over-eater, I'm sure you are OCD in other ways as well, and not necessarily the stereotypical ways. It takes time to find the right dose/combination of medication. Personally, I had an aha moment when I was able to go to the candle section of a HomeGoods, pick up and smell just a few, put one in my cart and move one. When it hit me I started crying and laughing at myself. That scenario would have previously been very stressful for me. Seeing all the different options, shapes, colors, sizes, prices and scents. I had to examine each one and weight all the factors before I could decide, on a freaking candle. However, I have also found myself doing the same thing with food, more often in fact, because I have to eat everyday. food just simply should not produce all these feelings, anxieties, or uncertainties. I'm 5 days out and have had a few moments when I had overwhelming cravings for something I cannot eat and felt that same panicky anxiety start to rise up in my chest. While I'm on slow acting meds, I am also prescribed Valium to take just 5mg as needed. And man, do I wish I had this stuff when I quit smoking. For me, it just pulls the plug on the damn record player in my brain and it's such a relief. So, not to downplay seriousness of eating disorders, but compulsive eating may just be part of a bigger condition that needs treatment. Good luck ❤️

Wow I am shocked that anyone would try to eat things that we were told we should not eat again. Well maybe it was just me. I was told this sleeve surgery is a new lifestyle change and I would never and I repeat never be able to eat the following:

1. popcorn

2. oatmeal

3. Grits

4. Potatoe

5. Pasta

6. Rice

7. Cookies

8. chips

9. Sodas

10. Sweet Snacks.

Was I the only one told this? I am following the instructions to the letter because I hate discomfort and I am not interested in finding out what could happen if I went against Doctor's order.

Ha... Grits, oatmeal and (mashed) potatoes are actually the goods I'm ALLOWED to have during the post-op food plan.

My nutrition plan allows for steak cut oats in about 2 more weeks. Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes are also allowed only during puréed stage and then they state only in moderation. popcorn completely natural with no butter is listed as a healthy grain snack for way later on. The rest are all no's on my list. So looks like every nutritionist is different.

Find a therapist before you seriously hurt yourself. A popcorn kernel lodged in you staple line could cause serious complications. You are too new to binge eat, especially foods like popcorn.

Sodas are even listed in my liquid diet phase post-op, provided they are caffeine free and flat, as in no carbonation. I had a discussion with my surgeon where I told him I was having a little bit of a hard time thinking of some of my favorite foods and that I would never be able to eat them again, and he told me I can eat anything I want in the future, just less of it. It's all about enjoying the things you like with moderation.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
