I had the sleeve done back in August and I am struggling really hard with food. Prior to surgery I used food as a coping mechanism to weigh down my depression. Now I am about 65 pounds down and I feel myself going back to my old habits. I always feel the urge to be eating something and when I do I usually eat until I feel sick because I think I’m not going to be able to eat again. Is their anyone else that feels like this? I am seriously considering using my EAP at work to seek counseling for food addiction. I am so stressed out that I am screwing up my progress and will stretch my stomach back out.

Thank you! It’s hard admitting you have a problem but I guess that is the first step! My employer does offer 3 free counseling sessions so I am going to start there. I never anticipated that life after gastric surgery would be this hard, it is a daily struggle to make sure I choose the right things to eat.
