Have you thought about therapy to get around the mind aspects of overeating? That's one of the most valuable things I ever did. Determined with a therapist WHY food was such an issue and what I used it for other than fuel/nutrition. That's a point that can't be overstated and comes back around on this board again and again. If we don't fix our MINDS this tool will not be as useful and we will not be as successful.
I have honestly never missed food since I got my head in the right place. Might be worth it!

I can relate. I cried today. I keep thinking how I won't be able to eat what I want again. It's so depressing, esp. while sitting in the living room listening to my family eat dinner. My surgery was 9/23..3 weeks tomorrow. Im 44 years old and i live in Richmond VA. My email is shannonmri2009@gmail.com if you want to talk.

I'm in a bad place right now. Had surgery on August 11,2015. I was 285 day of surgery...I am now 243.5. I have been 243.5 for over a week now. I'm frustrated...sad...and missing food so bad that I cry all the time. I'm Italian and used to be a huge Pasta...bread....cheese person. Yesterday my husband made an amazing sauce and I sat there as my family made yummy noises and ate my favorite things. It didn't bother me before this stall but now I'm miserable. I exercise 6 times a week...35 minutes on the treadmill at 3.2-3.5 and then lift light weights for 15 minutes. I don't know what to do. I just cracked into my kids candy for the first time...tiny bites of butterfinger and babe Ruth. It was glorious...I'm waiting for my stomach to explode or do something. I'm so depressed.
