I lost control and ate too much today, yet not full, did he actually do my surgery??
I had my surgery ( a Revision from stomach stapling to RNY on February 1st, 2008. I have been doing fine with eating the prescribed amounts. Today, I was stressed. I ate the usual 2 - 2-3 ounces, (of checken and mashed potatoes) but then about 30 minutes later I ate 2 ounces of stouffer's brand spinach souffle, then 2 more ounces of it. Then about 15 minutes after that I took one bite of chicken. Yes, I know I need psychotherapy to deal with eating issues and I am going to find a therapist. My question is; did the surgeon actually convert me over to a RNY? Why did I not feel full after eating that, or get sick? I felt fine. I am getting paranoid that he opened me up and closed me back up without making any changes. I know that sounds silly , but again, why did I not feel full or get sick? Where is the "tool"??? I am worried now that I will not have an effective tool and will end up being "able" to over-eat in the future because the surgery won't work the way it is supposed to. Am I overlooking something or not understanding something? Is it because the mashed potatoes and spinach souffle were very soft and mushy? Dear God, please tell me this surgery is going to be a powerful tool. Please answer me, and thanks everyone for your help and caring!
