    I did my psyc evaluation this week and I asked the psycologist about the same issue. She said it is "the last supper syndrome". We feel like there is some finish line where you can never eat again. We have to remember that we will just be approaching eating, being mindful of our health, not just for pleasure. I know that I will have to create a more healthy approach to eating.

    I was very different from you. I started a few months before changing my ways of eating. If you do not recondition your mind and get out of being so connected with food it will mess you up during your time adjusting of having your sleeve. I had the two week pre-op and it showed me why I had struggled all of those years with my weight. I would just want to eat sometimes because I saw the food and also because someone else was eating the food. The sleeve is breaking me out of years of bad habits. You really need to try different protein shakes and start trying to change your behavior towards food. You will eat again this is not a starvation thing. You will not be able to eat alot of food but you will go back to eating again and feeling full with less food. I hope this helps you a little.

    Nope! I wish I knew how to stop too. MY doctor said he doesn't require his patients to lose weight pre op any more, but If I gain he will postpone the date until I lose any I have gained. I weighed 366.8 at the start and am down about 12 lbs in 5 weeks. I guess I am scared to gain. I think the reason I have lost is He requires that we walk 5,000 steps /day before surgery. He counts one hour of water exercise class as 4,000 steps. So I do that and then swim laps for an additional 1/2 to 1 hour. I'm a water baby and feel at home in it.

    Maybe if you look up how many calories you can burn doing your favorite exercise in an hour, and how many calories are in the food you want to eat. Then tell yourself You have to exercise X# of hours if you eat that food to burn it off, you might think twice before eating.



    Highest weight 440 lbs. lowest weight 9.5 lbs at birth
    Date of surgery weight 340
    12 week checkup 301 BMI <50 yeah!
    Weight on birthday 3/24/48 Goal 285 would be nice.

    Default Re: Help, can't stop binging

    I cannot tell you how many hundreds of times I have done that, even sometimes day after day. I am trying really hard to eat healthy now, until my surgery and I am doing okay because I am afraid that if I don't lose weight I won't be able to have the sleeve. I am always motivated by fear. When the fear passes, I go right back to my old ways, at least that is how it's been in the past. I also think about a time after the surgery. I won't be able to eat that much and I am afraid I will miss being able to crunch down a big bowl of hot buttered popcorn to start a binge. I am trying to plan things to replace food and eating. So I guess that is the most effective thing that can be done... do something else instead of eating. One time I looked at great photos of food in a cookbook to replace eating it. Even though I wanted the food I was looking at, it did somewhat satisfy that "need." Whatever you do, it will be ok. Just don't be hard on yourself. That makes it very difficult to eat the way you really want to for your health.

    I thought the same way before surgery but now i know that there comes a time when you can enjoy food again and it's going to be ok. Be patient with yourself and know that you haven't eaten your last meal just your last that will try to kill you. LOL

    The good news, so to speak, is once you're sleeved and a couple of months out you can binge all you want - you'll just puke if you eat too much! 80% of this is in your head - that was the biggest battle for me.

    You may not be able to binge, but you will be able to graze, so something to consider. Some people can gain weight after the sleeve unless they are very careful about their food and exercise, others have an easier time as they don't feel the compulsion to eat and become less interested in food overall. You won't know which side you fall on until you get sleeved (and after a variable post op period) so hope for the best!

    I had at least 4 months between getting my clearances completed and my approval going through (my surgeon's coordinator's fault- not my insurance company's). During that 4 months or so I apparently ate like it was going out of style because I went from 289 or so to 316lbs.

    I'm not sure when you are scheduled, but be mindful of this. I am very happy with my sleeve now, but I would much rather have started my pre op diet at the lower weight. I think it is normal for everyone to indulge a little, but maybe try to incorporate some counter balances. I wish my surgeon had told me to start my pre op diet immediately. That way, even if I cheated during those months of waiting, I'd still be ahead or at least maintaining.


    Start of Preop = 316lbs; Date of Surgery = 302lbs

    I know that I had a "mourning period " also..... but I tried to be careful about it, I would let myself have something special 1 x a week but it had to be a regular serving ........ I also cut out allot of carbs, reg sugar, started to drink crystal light instead of soda, ( boy I miss diet coke ) started drinking water 64 oz a day, quit smoking.... I wanted to be ready for my surgery. also note tohat my surgoen was really picky they have a requirement on all patients that you had to loose 10% of your weight before surgery. if you dont they wont do the surgery and they were serious about it . I had to loose 30 lbs .
