Post op binge eating

[Guest guest]

I think this is more common than you might think. Binge eating is also part

of a thin persons life. There are days I can eat all day and I don't feel

full. That is scary but I don't let myself get upset. I WILL NOT have a

diet mentality anymore. Don't get yourself upset. I think that you had the

stuff in the house so hey you ate it. I am sure you don't keep all of that

stuff in the house all the time so this won't happen all the time. Did you

weigh yourself. Did you stay the same? Sometimes you might gain a pound or

2 but it comes off rather quickly. Do not beat yourself up. You will be

fine. Ellen(Pam

and not true....not everyone dumps and they to can outeat the surgery. Look

at it this way...we all have days we binge..even normal sized people...so why

should we be any different. You still probably didnt eat as much as you

could have before surgery!!

I have had a big stress factor added to my life this week (DH job is on the

line, he has been suspended pending termination due to

an auto accident). I don't work because of pain related issues, and even if I

wanted to, jobs in my field are rare these days.

Yesterday I ate.. ate.. ate all day. Junk food too...we had planned a holiday

party and I'd shopped for it but after the work

problem, neither of us felt in a party mood so we called the whole thing off.

Still I have all these things around the house.

I ate a whole cheese ball and half a package of wheat thins, a small package of

cookies, some baked cinnamon raspberry flaky

cookies, nibbled on trail mix and dried fruit, ate half a bag of BBQ

chips...just bunches of things like that. The sweets really

called me and I followed their lure.

I felt sick last night and had terrible BMs this AM and the urge to binge is

gone but I feel sort of frightened at how easy it was

to pig out! I was thinking that maybe I should have had the RnY because it

wouldn't have LET me do this ...is that sick thinking or

what?????

I can say that I ate less than I would have pre op but that does not make the

actual idea of a binge any less frightening. For some

reason, I figured that the DS would not allow binging...and that does not seem

to be true, at least for me it isn't.

Has any one else dealt with this in a positive manner? Today I made a food

program/wrote down what I would eat for the day/

this is old diet behavior for me, this restricting of food. I also dumped half

bags of stuff into the garbage and put unopened stuff

in the garden room pantry instead of leaving it in the kitchen to call my name.

I'm feeling really devistated because of this binge..and afraid too. My

confidence in my weight loss was so high, I was feeling

really positive about my choices but now it feels like the old days, the old bad

food and screwed up again days, the diet failure

days.

Who else has dealt with this kind of stuff? What do you do? Any ideas?
