Overate and feeling it



Recommended Posts

I lost my damn mind and pigged out on "cookie brownies", chips, and goldfish crackers. Like 1,000 calories worth in an hour. I usually don't even eat 1,000 calories in a whole day and I almost never eat that kind of crap.

I feel terrible mentally but I might honestly feel worse physically. Kind of that feeling where you wish you could throw up so you'd just feel better.

I'm going to lay down and take my punishment for what I've done. Blegh.

Tomorrow is a new day.

forgiveness starts within - forgive but don't forget.

hope you have a better day going forward.

when you have a quiet moment see if you can find the reason you "lost my dam mind". was it an event or some other external pressure. You may not find the reason but at least look back and see if the trigger is there.

wishing you well

I suppose many of us have had those days. Just don't make it a habit.

Whatever makes you feel badly, stop doing
Whatever gives you deep joy, this you should continue
And that is a simple, yet effective. bit of wisdom.

Egh. I've done that too. Not to that extreme I think but just that mindless eating and stuffing bite after bite. I hope you can get past it and it doesn't happen again.

Hopefully you'll remember how it felt and not do it again

I know exactly what my trigger was... anxiety. And what better way to handle that than eating, right?!

I've talked to my husband about it so he can help me refocus and calm down. Anxiety is a trigger for me and I know yet. Yesterday it got the best of me, but it's not winning today!

Thank you all for the support. My punishment continues today as the scale is up almost 2 full pounds overnight (I'm a daily weigher) as I retain Water and my body revolts against yesterday's torture.

I have had several days like this and am only 4 months post op. it makes you feel like absolute crap, mentally and physically. All we can do is forgive ourselves and move on. Maybe another activity to take our minds off wanting to eat our feelings or out of boredom. now I just need to practice what I preach lol

      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.
