Okay for some reason i have been freaking out lately. Im scared as hell of eating because I dont wanna make my pouch bigger.I have lost 86 pounds in less than 3 months and im scared of gaining it back. I got the Open bypass because the doctor recommended it because its harder to make bigger. I got my first tattoo on my wrist its a small star to remind me of how well im doin right now (Im a Superstar lol ) and that if i mess up things will go back to the way they were (when i was fat) does anyone else worry about this often ?
It will be about another year before you really need to worry about gaining anything back. Most people do gain back a little too as their system levels out.
Being afraid of food will not make you healthy physically or mentally. Adopting good habits now will help you. I have read of a few people on this board who have some eating disorders since surgery. That is not a good thing.
I throw myself into exercise to keep my mind and body healthy. If I overeat one day or do not make the right choices, I punish myself at the gym. To me, that is healthier than being paranoid and scared all of the time. I exercise also so I do not gain the weight back. I still like good food and my appetite is pretty good as well.
I would certainly find something else to occupy your mind at this point. You need food as fuel to get healthy again. Living on 500 calories a day will not make you healthy(not to say you are, but just making a point). Eat well, and make good choices. Read up on nutrition so you are informed.
Keep up the good work!
....And follow the rules of the pouch, as long as you do that you will be ok.
God bless you,
