Eating out of control!

Oh my gosh, I'm sooo happy to see your post and all of the responses!  I've been stress eating on and off all through this pre-surgery process.  It was really bad in July when I made my appointment for my initial consultation which was in Sept..  Week before last I got my surgery date (11/21) and it hit me again....in fact I was nervously eating candy when I logged on to OH this evening!  It's such a relief to know I'm not alone!

I'm so glad that I came back and read this thread again.  Today has been horrible.  A demon has taken posession of my body and is forcing me to eat far more than i can tolerate.  (Okay I know there is no demon, but it damn well feels that way.)  It makes me frightened that when I get the lap band I'll fail.  I want to show myself that I can do it right without the band, so that I know I'll be able to do it with the band.  Well, tomorow is another day.  Anyone know a charm to chase away demons?

my surgery date is november 10 - i too have been eating like crazy.  i am enjoying my final days of soda and just plain junk food.  i am glad that i am not the only one.

I know when we get our surgery's we will not fail!!!!!!!! We have all been through so much with our weight but this is going to be an excellent tool to help us. I look at the before/after pics and get so excited I can hardly stand it. I have been looking at my body in a whole new way. I can see the possibilities and I am willing to fight my way to a whole new body and life.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Like you wouldn't believe.  I have been eating any and everything without a thought.  I have been dreaming food.  lol

Hi Robyn,

Sounds like we are all doing the same. Since I got my date I have been totally out of control, eating everything and anything at any given time I have put on a least 10 pounds.  Best of luck on your up coming surgery. Time is starting to fly.

I was up 12lbs as of my PATs Oct 27.  I say was because that was a week ago and who knows how much I'm up now with all this Halloween candy.  I sure am enjoying my last hurah.
