Am 7 years post op, and have lost 170 pounds and have successfully kept the weight off. If you are in need of support, I am very knowledgable and willing to be a help to people who are struggling or have health questions.

One thing you must do is get rid of people who sabotage you. I had to do that myself, it wasn't easy. I would definitely do a pouch test. But I can tell you that support is key to success. I went for the first 4 years after my surgery. We all have issues that we need to overcome. When you are ready to face them you will feel better about yourself and be able to focus and concentrate. I had memory issues as well. I suggest that you start looking at yourself in a more positive light. I know it is hard, believe me I have been there. My therapist had me make a list everyday five things in my life that I was grateful for. I know it sounds silly, but it is a good strategy. If you can read the book Codependent No More, that will help too. We all eat for a reason or use food to self sooth. Do you exercise? Sometimes that helps with self esteem.
Steps for you to start:
1. Stop beating yourself up.
2. Make a list of things that are positive in your life.
3. Start with a baby step, add a Protein drink in and remove one thing that derails you.
4. Go to support group.
5. Talk to your primary doctor about your memory. They may have suggestions or medications that can help you focus.
6. Don't give up. You are worth the work.

It has taken me years to walk away from a hurtful person, including family, however some twins they hurt us the worst.
Are you staying up really late or do you just wake up for a little? I find they when I don't have a set time for bed I tend to look for food. Try putting yourself on a time schedule.
