last meal syndrome??
i need some wise words, or advice or i dont know....
ive been having eating issues, and it scares me! i dont know if its since i received my surg date (june 5!!!) , if its because im having one of my rare periods(PCOS), or is it all in my head? ive been eating bad the last while, and i havent stepped on the scale in a couple weeks (im scared to) but my surgery will be cancelled if i gain weight. when i went to edmonton for my scope/pbs class i was up 4 lbs, and im sure im up a couple of more. i get cravings, the other day my hubby bought us a bday cake (noones bday) i ate a quater of it, it was a small cake mind you, so it was 1 big piece, ive been eating peanut butter out of the jar, 3-4-5 tbsp at a time! i eat a healthy breakfast, 350 cals, then a greek yogurt and cottage cheese for lunch , then a healthy supper (most nights, sun we had a turkey dinner and i had lots of gravy and cranberry sauce). on friday i drank paralyzers( used diet pepsi and skim milk) i havent had alcohol in a few years but ive been having it once a month or more since this process began. ( cross addictions already?) is this all subconscious last supper syndrome? who had a similar experiance? any one? any tips or advice? i know ive got to get reading my craving change workbook, and i have a book called crave on my kobo, ive read about half of each, i started reading them again today. i just hope i dont sabatoge myself now that im so close!!! and im afraid this is a sign that i will have even bigger struggles after surgery.
thanks for listening,
niki

I had WEEKS of "food funerals" Went out for ice cream, sushi, pizza..you name it I ATE IT!! Then, like you, I realized what I was doing and stopped torturing myself. I cracked down and just stuck to my program as much as possible. I started looking for new recipes, started "doctoring" up my shakes. I started using shakes 3 months before surgery. I think it got me in the right mind frame.
Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep at getting back on track!! This is normal and you CAN do this. Half the battle is knowing our "weaknesses"

Hi Niki,
I went crazy with "last suppers" before surgery too. In retrospect I wish that someone had told me that it really wasn't necessary. There is very little that I can't eat now. I stil enjoy all the foods I used to, just in smaller portions. I was so worried that I would never be able to enjoy my favourite foods again, that was just not true.
Be kind to yourself. It is perfectly natural to feel that way. Just take care of yourself the best that you can between now and your surgery date.

I managed to gain 7 lbs in my week of 'last suppers"!
I ate my favorite foods plus any form of food I could get my hands on. Have not missed that behavior one bit since surgery !!!
Havent been back to those restaurant , stores, bakeries since, nor have I missed them.
Just get back on the wagon, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
It will be worth it! I feel so good now and am learning not to use food as a crutch!

Hi Nikki,
I am in the same boat as you..I am thinking of all the stuff I need just one last time to get it out of my system, ..I dont think you wil have any problem after your surgery..its just the freaky mindset we get but after the surgery, when the weight is coming off and we feel so empowered, we wont want to eat bad stuff and ruin our hard work. I have decided on a few things I want to enjoy this weekend..and I will be mindful and enjoy them and move on.
