Topic: RE: All I want to do is eat
Hey Belinda.
Sorry you feel this way too, but you're right that it helps knowing I'm not alone. I don't think there's any drug to make it go away. If there was, I wouldn't have needed the surgery. I saw my aunt and uncle today (both about 3 years post RNY.) They said not to stress about stalling, that it happens, and the loss will start again.
I think I need to keep it in perspective. Now I get mad if I "binge" on 2 or 3 chips. A couple of months ago I would have eaten a whole bag. It just makes me mad that I can't seem to walk by a bag without wanting one. For awhile, I knew even just a couple would make me sick, so I stayed away. Now that I've learned that I can eat a few...it's dangerous.
Hang in there. We'll get through it.

I guess I'd like the opportunity to at least know what it would feel like to weight too little or have that problem at least for a day. I've stalled out right now. But I'm sure I'll be losing again shortly... cause I know I'm true to myself.

Jeannie,
I am having this issue too. I find myself eating because of loneliness and stress. So far, I have had small successes fighting it. It is an almost hourly problem for me. I am not sure what to do either. Will they give me drugs to make me stop? Dont know. I am already on drugs. You are welcome to read my blog on my profile and you will see that me and you probably have the same issues alot of the time. I wish I could give us the answers. But just know that you are not the only one going through this.

Topic: All I want to do is eat
HELP!!! I'm not hungry...I just seem to want to eat all the time. (Ok...not like I did before WLS), but if the boys have a bag of chips out, I want some. A couple of months ago I could turn my head. I've been under a LOT of stress lately...husband sick, new job, car accident, fighting insurance over the car accident. That may be it, but I don't know how to turn it off. I know I can't eat all the time. When I do "cave" I only have a couple of bites of whatever it is, but I know I shouldn't be having any. I can eat more things now and sometimes I can eat more of the things that I can eat. I don't think it's a good thing. How do you control it? I have a post-op visit Monday and I'm looking forward to seeing the therapist.
Anyone else having this issue? How do you help it? Exercising when I want to eat doesn't do anything for me...just makes me think about what I can eat when I'm done.
HELP!! I still need to lose about 30 lbs. My aunt who is about 3 years post-op just started putting weight on and I'm scared. I don't want to come this far and then gain it all back. Unfortunately, the way I'm wired is it just adds to the stress I already feel and want to eat even more.
Ok...I'm done whining. I'll listen now. THanks for your help!

Topic: RE: Looking for some reassurance - Please!!
I'm right there with you! I've lost about the same, and haven't lost a pound in a couple of weeks, in fact some days I'm up a couple of pounds. It scares me to death. It shouldn't Even if I stayed where I am now I should be ok with it, but I'm not. I'm having other issues for another thread, but I completely empathize.
You'll be loosing again soon, I'm sure. You're doing great.
