I'm 7 weeks post op down 33 pounds. I've been very happy with my results and feeling more confident. However, I believe depression is starting to sink in. I suffered from depression before the surgery. I guess i was hoping that it would somehow go away. I know, I know very wishful thinking.

Lately it has been hard to get out of the bed to go to work better yet going to the gym. I feel awful beat myself up then become even more depressed.

Even with a small stomach i haven't over come emotional eating. I ate everything that i knew I shouldn't today. It made me sick but i ate it any way.

I don't regret the surgery. I guess i was going that if i was happy with myself that the depression with magically go away. I don't want to be disappointed in myself because i know that is going to make me more depressed. I just don't understand why I can't control this. I have been my own worse enemy. I want more than anything to be successful with this surgery. I don't want to sabotage myself. I dont understand why i can't stop.

I have appointments scheduled with a psychiatrist and an psychologist/ addiction counselor next month.

I guess I just needed to vent. I don't have anybody to talk to about this. I can't expect anybody to understand something i don't understand myself.

There needs to be a rehab for food addicts, lol.

There are a few people on here that have suggested books to read on this topic...I am hoping some of them will post again because I can sure use some help myself' date=' I will have several great days and then eat until I make myself sick. Good luck![/quote']

I have read Anatomy of a food Addiction: The Brain Chemistry of Overeating: An Effective Program to Overcome Compulsive Eating

You can see it here and read some reviews on it

It does go into a lifestyle of cutting out sugars though. But it has some really powerful stuff in there. I think I will read from it today..
