The last week has been emotionally difficult, and on top of that I was afraid I'd

stretched out my stomach. It seemed I could eat a lot of food. Then I thought about it, and I realized I've been grazing (like, not just keeping my meals 15-30 minutes long, but eating afterward). That panicked me. This is my first experience with emotional eating since surgery (I'm 10 months post-op). I think I've gained about two pounds this week, but am unsure (cruddy scale). I am down a total of 127 pounds (open RNY in May 2001), but would still like to lose another 65 or so. (I'll settle for 50.) I am freaking out over how I've eaten; it's too much like old times, you know? Does anyone have any suggestions? I think I'm going to try spending a day mainly on protein supplements and water. I did that once to break a plateau, and it worked and I never felt hungry. Please, any suggestions anyone has would be great. I get that panicky feeling: this surgery WON'T work for me, it'll be a failure like everything else I've tried. Thanks in advance for any advice!
