Forgot to mention, one particular book helped me, The Emotional First + Aid Kit. It made me more aware of how I was setting up my environment for failure. I got to a point in my 6 months before surgery in which I was steadily losing a little weight without trying (a first for me!).

If a nearby hospital has regular support groups, you may go there to help yourself stay on the program.

I think you could be being too hard on yourself. I had to lose weight pre-op but like 2 months. If I had been faced with a year or two of this, I don't know if i would have succeeded either. I mean, the whole reason anyone gets weight loss surgery is that they have been unsuccessful with traditional dieting. Expecting someone to lose and maintain for that long of period of time seems unrealistic.
And we all have our food demons that we have to deal with. I took a pre-op class but that doesn't mean I'm cured. I'm a work in progress and am still going to meetings/support groups. If I waited until I had myself all figured out, surgery many have never happened.

Again, how will jumping through the hoops aid in you giving up your food addiction? This issue has to be dealt with or you wil find a way to eat around your sleeve.

Well do you think you might still binge eat after the surgery. The surgery won't prevent you from doing that. Something to think about. I wish you success on your journey.

Drink one or more Protein shakes each day. These must be low in sugar content. Walk each day about 20-30 minutes. If you haven't cut out caffeine and carbonated beverages from you diet, do it now. I was on a 6 diet coke a day habit. I went cold turkey and lost 20 pounds pre-surgery, just based on that change alone.
Before surgery, I paid more attention to the calorie content at restaurants. I changed my eating habits as a result. I found chili at Wendy's worked well and crunchy taco at Taco Bell were good tasting yet low in calories.

Have you considered surgery in Mexico? The cost is very reasonable and you don't have to jump through any hoops. I paid for my surgery out of pocket and went to a doctor in the city where I live because I didn't want to have to wait for my insurance to possibly deny me. If you only have to lose a pound at each weigh in, maybe read some of the forums on weight cutting. If you aren't gaining weight and you're mostly maintaining, you can easily drop a few pounds the day before a doctor's visit to meet the requirements of losing weight by using some of the techniques that wrestlers use. It isn't pleasant, but if it gets you what you want, it's worth it.
Good luck!

I don't know if the psychiatrists use the DSM V Manual. In the most recent one, there is a diagnostic category for binge eating. There is a medicine that helps with that.
I kept myself in check by remembering what it was I was striving for.. "keep your eye on the prize." I didn't want a weight gain to mess this up. For a snack, I ate a small bag of puffed rice cakes. Pre-op, I found that the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes really helped. They were good tasting, and the flavor could be changed with sugar free syrups (Torani or DaVinci). The flavorings can also be used in sugar free puddings.
I suggest you operate from a position of being satisfied with healthy food. Have a Protein shake 20 minutes before eating a meal. Then eat normally, stopping when you feel somewhat satisfied, rather than full. In between meals, you might use recipes from the blog, The World According to Eggface.
Best wishes! Be successful!!!

Can you find another psychologist? They are not helpful.
Second, what about substitutes? Water or 0 calorie items or veggies. Walking?
