But I don't like this. I don't need anymore weight than I have now. I hope talking about it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 I have noticed myself eating compulsively and I think personally I am noticing the behavior more in myself and recognizing it for what it is because of planning to have the surgery and trying to understand all of the changes it will mean to my life. I think it makes us look closer at our behaviors and recognize things that we wont be able to do anymore. > I don't know if this is " normal " or not, but ever since I have decided to > look into the surgery it seems like I'm more tempted to eat what I shouldn't. > Did/does anyone else have this problem?

Did/does anyone else have this problem? YES! I was at the grocery store today on my last big shopping trip before my surgery. I found myself having a very bad case of, " I should buy that because I won't be able to eat it later " . I managed to get out with the stuff on my list and a couple splurges. Ever since I started reading about the surgery months ago I have had that sort of thinking from time to time. But it sort of comes and goes and I have been focusing on eating more like a post-op as much as I can (lots of protein and fluids, easy on the sugary stuff). Good news....I have heard more than one post-op say not to get too upset about these cravings and the need to eat stuff we shouldn't. It appears to be part of the process for most of us. Personally, the less I worry about it, the less I seem to eat. ===== H Dr. Keshishian/surgery 11-21-2000 San Francisco Bay Area mailto: hillsmith2000@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Fellow nut here.... I'm going through the same thing. It's nerves for me. Lots of people can't eat when they're nervous -- I'm just the opposite! Then again, I eat compulsively when happy, sad, nervous, scared... LOL Take it one meal at a time. Try to think about your feelings before you indulge. Write to us! Call a friend. Go ahead and eat, but drink water between each bite. Get out and enjoy the fall air. These are all the things I'm trying. Good luck hunny and hang in there... Robin F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
