I went to Amazon, and there's so many. I probably have all of the food addiction symptoms possible (head hunger, emotional hunger, overeating, etc). The LAST thing I want is to finish surgery and gain weight again because I didn't resolve the mental issues.

Out of the 30+ books available, which do you recommend for:

- Learning why this happens

- Implementing a plan to fix

I'm going to counseling as well for any underlying problems that might have led to it.

thanks!

Are you a binge eater? I used to binge before the surgery, and my counselor recommended "Overcoming Binge Eating" by Christopher Fairburn. It's an older book, but it's very scientifically based and is considered to be the gold standard.

I recommend the "12 Steps and 12 Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous." Lots of literature available at www.OA.org

Good luck!

The Beck Diet soloution. it's not a diet. I'd get the work book and not the book.
