Food addiction is so very real and many of us struggle with this. It's very wise to work through this with a therapist (I've had many come see me for these issues as well) as after surgery- you won't be able to use food as a comfort - at least for a while and then when you can- You're going to risk stretching and really sabatoging the surgery. Very good insight on your part - I'm happy to hear you're at least admitting it and now you need to work through it. A surgeon isn't going to do this with you and neither is a nutritionist. This goes deeper than that and if I were you- I would contact a therapist. I've always said- We could alllllll benefit from therapy at one point, if not many points, in our lives. Luck!
