So today would have been a binge day pre-op..

From being totally treated as a 24-hour pariah by my vet-offended kittens to frustration not getting a tiny amount of help to access documents necessary to close ..and other bad news .. . I'm having a bad day emotionally

in the past I would have comforted myself with excess food .. and believe me I've been making sketchy choices all day.

This is where I'm Very thankful I only have bariatric friendly foods in my larder.

The truth is baked Kuri squash and vegetarian low-fat samosa bites are just as satisfying and rich tasting as pizza ( and I actually have bariatric friendly low-fat homemade pizza frozen anyway ... just can't find it ).

It's funny in a way that I got up at night and " binged" on nonfat Greek salad ... lol ... a few years ago salad definitely wouldn't have qualified as a binge food ! My system is definitely far more sensitive now - used to and appreciative of far healthier food choices.

Try to get through the day/night as best you can and go to bed early and snuggle with your kittens! I have a very soft fluffy fleece faux fur blanket throw that I put on my bed when I want them to snuggle they love it! Kneeding it and purring! The purring is relaxing for us too. Hopefully tomorrow you will feel better. A new day can give you new strength to deal with your problems and they will not seem as bad.

(Edited to fix grammar)

Ty for that thoughtful and caring reply.

Unfortunately i kind of lost it last night ... i told myself i was only driving to Pet Depot to buy " forgiveness" cat toys.. but somehow i ended up spending sixty something dollars in ALDIS mostly on unhealthy carbs .. and then i walked next door into Rite -Aid home of chili-chocolate, toffefay.. yikes.

Now im looking at bag after bag of " baked " ( so called healthy ) potato chips ... boxes of carby cereal .chocolate bars i never want to consume ...can i bring it back or exchange it for something more healthy ?

If you have the receipt you should be able to return the unwanted food; however, confirm the store's return policies as they may be different. Or you can throw it out. What is more important or worth more to you; ingesting $60 worth of crap or tossing $60 worth of crap? Since WLS, I've become much more comfortable getting rid of food that is not good for me, regardless what I've paid for it. I now put a higher premium on what I consume than what I purchase. I don't "save" money by eating processed/junk food anymore.

Funny, last night I was having a very bad night and needed to binge. Know what I binged on? Boiled cauliflower with a pinch of salt...Lol. My old self would of been stuffing her face with a bag of chips and pizza.
