PS Costs
^Agree^ It will be expensive ( more or less depending on who and where) but also full body can mean more procedures than you think based on each surgeons consults.

Food Before and After Photos
Looks good! So simple yet satisfying. I like to maple glaze things Unsolicited Tip Alert: Don't forget to add honey to the food log (if you are depending on it for tracking) if the salmon is in fact honey glazed. You'd be surprised how many cals honey adds ?

Surgery for non-weight reasons?
I had WLS to correct a rare-ish neurological condition that was believed to be exacerbated by obesity. I could call my WLS an off brand therapy for my Neuro condition but personally I'd be splitting hairs. Prior to the development of the neuro condition, I was relatively healthy for an obese person (no precursors of common obesity related comorbidities). But that flipped completely over a few weeks. When brain surgery or WLS were the modalities of treatment, I chose the latter. I have only seen miniscule improvements in the Neuro aspect but holistically I am better without the excess weight and the likelihood that I will develop the obesity comorbidities are significantly reduced if my weight stays within optimal range, especially if I don't have genetic and environmental catalyst. Still, good luck with your journey

Weight gain.....
Also just a quick search on Scholar and found numerous research articles on the role of stress in weight gain Here's just one ( I chose this one because it was free to access and had an impressive reference section) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0306453094E00417 Endocrine_and_psychological_evaluation_o.pdf
