Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Yeah, I will admit that before my revision because of a disrupted staple line...I pretty much ate what I wanted and as much as I wanted. It was almost like...well HECK I can....and I WON'T be able to later...so I am GOING to do it! I did. Gained 67 pounds before surgery...and fortunately the revision got me back under control...and I lost the 67 pounds. I am not proud...but that is what I did.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 When my SLD happened, and I was stuck in Paper Limboland for 4 months, I swayed back 'n forth. I stuck with gallons of protein to cut cravings, dent my appetite and did all that. But I did make forays into forbidden territory a few times. Just no regularly.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 I did exactly the same thing when I found out about my SLD. Those feelings of despair, the why me's, etc., but also knowing that I would have it fixed come hell or high water lead to that last meal syndrome...you know, eat whatever I want because I'll never be able to have it again ...except it lasted for 6 months until the stomach transection. I suppose I was " lucky " that I only gained back 17 pounds. But, the surgery is now working just fine, and all is well with the world. ) in NJ *********************** > Yeah, I will admit that before my revision because of a disrupted staple line...I pretty much ate what I wanted and as much as I wanted.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 > What I forgot to mention is that I have gained back 50lbs from my all time lowest weight. I don't know why my friend waited until now to say something unless it really shows? I don't know? What I do know is I need to ask her why she said anything and tell her she needs to be careful about what she says about my weight. She never once said anything while I was morbidly obese but to say something now really bothers me because I know I am gaining weight I just can't stop it. I don't know how much experience the counselor I am seeing has with eating issues. I have never been diagnosed with a eating disorder so I don't know. Its just very hard to find someone who understands the surgery I had. Kristy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 When I had my sld, I was miserably sick, so I really didn't go all out and binge. However, the mind was willing, but the body just wasn't cooperating. Would have done the " last Meal " syndrome every morning, noon and night, had I had the opportunity.
