Thank you :-****rtainly hope so. I'm not sure what it is but I keep getting bummed out thinking I don't see any differences. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon :-)

Hi Clara! I am glad you came here. I also have issues with the mental aspect of the whole thing. I didn't have any complications and it really has been physically easy. My biggest problems are also with head hunger, compulsive eating and bingeing. I find that coming here and being open about how I'm feeling and my struggles really helps me a lot. If you're not in therapy, then you might want to look into that as well.

I wanted to say that I have had the same experience as you! I was actually really worried (and still sort of am) that things have been too easy. I was also drinking like normal a few days after surgery and am able to eat pretty much anything as well as overeat without any sort of repurcussions. I agree wholeheartedly that it is definitely difficult because it is all about self control to not eat bad or too much and that has always been difficult for me.

So I just wanted to say that I totally understand where you are coming from and I am glad to know that I am not alone! I am only 2 1/2 months post op and am happy to know that I can look forward to your journey and know that mine might be similar!

Thanks for sharing!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! I've been being really careful to not push my limits but one time I just sort of mindlessly ate like I used to and didn't even realize until significantly later what I had done. I've been trying to listen to my body more to recognize a stop signal but I still haven't found any sort of signal so I just keep measuring things out to be safe. Best of luck on your journey!!
