Amytug, you just hang in there. I think most obese people are emotional eaters, if they are truthful with themselves....stress, depression, joy, bored, you name it. I was sleeved 11/6 and I have to tell you, you will be so focused on getting your liquids and Protein in, you will be full! Yes, I get head hunger, but seriously, your new tummy is just not large enough to sabotage your weightloss journey. I promise you you'll only overdo it once...LOL
Keep moving forward. My husband was not for it for a long time, but as I educated him, he got on board and is my biggest supporter. You will do just great, and once the deed is done, your mother will get behind you. Hugs.
