I have to ask -- why do you keep doing all of this to yourself? Your posts are really memorable. Pretty quick after your surgery, you were asking about eating chicken wings while you were watching the Super Bowl. When you were on vacation in New Orleans, you asked about alcohol. A week or so ago, you ate onion rings and they made you sick, and now you are eating too fast and eating bread.

I mean absolutely no judgment -- for instance, I'll have a drink or two occasionally now that I am this far along -- but it seems like you go into things knowing that they will produce an undesirable result or discomfort, but you do them anyway. And then you regret it later.

Just an observation. Definitely stay away from the bread, though. Nothing good can come from it.

Good luck!

I gotta go with what @blizair09 said. You need to focus on why you are repeating this behavior over and over again.

Thanks all I guess my food addiction is mental and I'm finding it hard to get over. But saying that I am doing better. I get stressed easily and am not mindful. I'm trying hard.

I have the same problem. I hate how I feel when I overeat, but I'm also thankful that my sleeve prevents me from eating anywhere near what I used to eat. If it is this hard to stop overeating when it hurts and nauseates me so much, then I know I would never have been able to lose weight (or even stop gaining!) without surgery. I really feel like I would have just eaten myself to death.

When I am feeling uncomfortable from overeating, I think about how short the side effects from overeating after WLS are, compared to being fat and out of shape and exhausted all.the.time

Good luck! I do agree with working on figuring out the psychological aspects of your food addiction.

      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!!
