I don't know what to do, my mental health is not in the right place but dam it I love binging and food so much.

Any thoughts?

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
