I’m month away from having gastric sleeve,

i know I’m supposed to eat as healthy as possible, but I have food addiction issues. Anybody else suffer from binge eating disorder? And were you successful with weight loss and maintenance after surgery?

I have not had my surgery yet....2 days I will. But I struggle with all this at times as well and 1 thing I have been working on is listening to my stomach and not my head. It's hard ik but keep at it. My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet so I have been really struggling these last few weeks to keep myself in check before my surgery. Best of luck to you! :-)

Sunshine Princess🌞OMG I completely forgot it was getting that close! Hey I will be praying for a smooth surgical day and good healing for you, but honey it has got to be so exciting. I hope I'm within a month of mine, I'll find out on the 24th. I so want to join you in surgery-land! I guess I'm not as patient as I should be.😪

My surgery is scheduled for May 24th as well. My doctor also doesn’t require a pre-op diet but I’m trying to do it for the next 3 days just to see if I can and to “detox” from all the crap I’ve been eating. It’s only been a few hours and I’m already trying to convince myself to eat.

well guys, I've been recording on My Fitness Pal, most days I don't even make the calorie count the app assigned, well yesterday was screwy, no I didn't binge, I just didn't eat my vegie, Protein and salad like I usually Dom Replaced 2 meals with shakes, and that lowered it down. I think they had planned to review a months worth, well they'll get 3 and half weeks and they'd better like it. I didn't get around to reactivating it until May 1st. Didn't even do it,on this smartphone. Now don't laugh too bad, this sounds silly, but I've forgotten the password for this one so did it on my Samsung instead. Remember how everyone made fun of President,Imelda Marcos of the Philippines for having closet after closet of shoes. Well, I'm like that with cellphones and each one has a name. That way when I update my contact list you might think I have a lot of friends, nope 4 of them are phones. If I'm weird it's an interesting weird, isn't it? This one is Malachy, because that means messenger, the one My Fitness Pal is on is registered as DF Magee, although I usually call it Moon Cat for the cute wallpaper theme, then I have a Nought Android( the latest currently available) that's Antonio Sanchez and an older Lollipop called Toto Ferguson. My son only has two, an aged ,well a couple years old and in electronic land that's practically senile named Fernando after the Abba song, he keeps saying he's going,to retire it but it has his songs from Google Play on it and as long as poor old Fernando can still call out he hates to do it. When I got Moon Cat he wanted a new one too, its contact,name is Eugene Throckmorten and it has a Moon Panda motif, he just still keeps old Fernando active too. So Frustr8 and her mini me son, we are phone weird! Did I give you a little chuckle❓😝

Same. my 2 week pre op diet isn't all liquid. I can have shakes, Protein Bars, fruit and veggie. problem is, most Protein bars have chocolate in them and that's a HUGE no no for me. it has sparked bad eating habits. I've got 1 week to go and I had to cut them from my meals. I replaced them with home made Soup instead. it kind of surprised me. I had burgers and dogs over the weekend. but as of this morning i'm putting my own foot down. the last thing I want is for my liver to be too large and get denied the surgery. so i'm peptalking myself. I can do this!

      April Surgery
      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.
