Huge stall, binge eating

I am struggling with over eating after 10 months post op. Lost 90 pounds quick from May to October then stopped. Trick or treat, thanksgiving, Christmas, now Easter causing me to fall off the program and has carried into my daily eating. Anyone else struggling with binge eating?

Thanks for being honest and I agree with summerseeker, you should contact your care team for help! I am still in the preop stage and that is my fear” loose weight quickly and then fall back into my old patterns”. Good luck in your journey ❤️❤️

I hope you can find help OP. I think (know!) the surgical restriction helps a lot but we also need to address our underlying issues with food while we have that restriction in order to keep our weight off in the longer term.

If you can connect with a bariatric therapist asap to check what you're doing that you shouldn't be that might be a good first step.

I wish you ALL the luck xxx We're here to help if we can.

Agree with everyone else here: get help now. Especially a bariatric therapist. You don't want to let it go on for too long or the way back will feel overwhelming (this was always an issue of mine).

I think it's safe to say all of us are forever standing on that cliff, and it doesn't take much to stumble off the ledge. Good luck OP, you can get back on track.

I definitely agree, the earlier you can get help, the better. This is your journey, and taking control now is best. Thanks for your honesty. I think the biggest part is that you recognize it, and want help. Next, is taking the next step and making that call to your care team.

How quickly do you get full after eating? You can stretch your sleeve out if you drink carbonated drinks, that's what my Dr. told me. I know how you feel, I've been there and struggle with being really hungry at time and other times not wanting to eat at all.

I would say try to focus on something else, keep busy don't let the weight loss worry consume you. Keep busy.. Stop thinking and over thinking or getting bored, that can lead to being hungry as well.
