Need Help!

 

 

Hello Everyone-

    How are you these days? Good I hope. Hope everything is turning out the way you all planned! Well, I have a HUGE CONCERN and I am hoping someone will wright me back on this. I havent had my surgery yet and I am getting sooo VERY EXCITED! Well, my concern is that I have been EATING SOOOO MUCH for the past few months and it feels like I just can not stop. I eat something and then I go and look for something els to eat. Why cant I just eat something and be content? Has anyone els been like this before surgery and how do you fix it? Does surgery help this? I am really worried. I have gained about 5 lbs within 3 months and I just cant wait for my surgery. Someone please help me understand why I am eating soo much!

Trust me, this surgery will take care of that.  I was the same way - I was never satisfied.  Once I got my date (2 months prior to surgery) I was pretty disciplined at that point because I was instructed not to gain any weight during that period.

Once I started the two-week preop diet I needed to be on, it was a non-issue.  I had all the things I wanted to have before that 2 weeks, as if I would never have them again.  That is just not true.  I tell my husband I think they did brain surgery instead of stomach surgery, as I do not want to eat like I did before.  Don't get me wrong, I have the things I probably shouldn't, but instead of eating a lot of something, I eat one or two bites and am satisfied.

I was the most horrible dieter in the world.  I had no will power and I couldn't hardly make it a day.  Now with my "tool" I am very disciplined, but the truth is I am not very hungry, even a year after surgery.  I eat what I need to eat to be healthy, I eat some stuff (bites) that I want because I want it, and I am in a good place right now.

Once you have surgery you will see a huge change, trust me.  I didn't even feel like I wanted to eat for several months, but I did because my body needed me to eat.

Good luck to you.  When is your surgery date?

I think it is all going to be a mind or matter trip. Right now your mind is saying it don't matter. After surgery that all will change and it will be the minds will power saying it does matter. I wish you the best of luck on your up coming date. I to will be starting that journey come Aug 12th
Best of luck
