Hello and welcome. I see you already have a bariatric therapist which would have been my advice. I struggle with boredom eating and I am still trying to find a good therapist in my area to help with this. I’m losing but it’s more of a struggle than it would be without disordered eating issues (I assume). I have found bariatric pal to be a wonderful source Of support and hope you will too.

That's why these forums exist, so members can share experiences and ask questions.
As regards your mental issues with food and night eating, have you considered talking with the therapist at the surgeon's office about this?
Stick to the plan. It'll work for you. Don't worry about the numbers on the scale. Just focus on getting in the Water, getting in the Protein, limiting your food portions.

Welcome & congratulations on your surgery.
Never be afraid to ask for help. This process is not always easy. Many hiccups & roadblocks along the way as we work through the crap that lead us to being overweight. We don’t talk about the importance of doing the head work for nothing 🙂
Were you recommended a therapist as part or your pre surgery program? If not ask your team for a recommendation to someone who specialise in eating disorders & bariatric patients. You may find working with a therapist about your cravings & night eating very helpful. There are many people on this forum who have benefitted from working through their food obsessions etc. with therapy to understand what’s drinking them to eat & finding strategies to manage those drives.
Good luck & congratulations on your weight loss so far. It’s just the beginning.

Yes I’m seeing a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and bariatric patients. I have been seeing her since before the surgery. She’s the one who recommended I join this group. Thanks for the welcome.
