I think people are talking about two different things.
One, folks extrapolating and addressing the OP as if reverting to binge eating and sabotaging their entire life/process.
Two, folks extrapolating and addressing the OP's statement that they understand they over-ate and trying to find their balance.
The OP specifically said they are not looking to punish themselves but acknowledged Portion Control as an issue they need to keep working on. I think admonishing or guilt/shaming a person or trying to scare them is not the way to support our process. I believe in encouraging people to accept and recognize they made mistakes or missteps, using that to learn and grow, and not making ourselves feel so bad that we have guilt (Which, to be honest, is one of my BIGGEST food triggers. Guilt over my own food choices) because that leads to self-hate which leads to sabotaging.

Thank you! That was exactly what I was acknowledging when I made my post. I know that it wasn't a good choice to eat the doughnuts but I did and I survived. I did not go backwards, nor did I binge on their foods, I can't eat that much anyway. I am a constant work in process. I'm pretty sure I will be fine. My nutritionist wanted me to lose 30lbs by the time I see her mid August, I've already lost 32lbs with a month to go. I think I will survive.

My neighbor gained a lot of her weight back after RNY because she believed she could eat what she used to just in smaller portions. Now she's back on a diet like she used to be and really down about it. Good article.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
