You know we are all in the same boat as you are. food was our best friend no matter what emotion we were experiencing. Sometimes if our emotions are more intense we eat more but as a rule we just eat! This requires recognizing why you want food and figuring out what you can do to alleviate the emotions without eating. In addition you just have to ignore that junk food monster lurking to hook you at every turn. Start looking at some go to foods that you can have to avoid those binge moments. Here are a few links that I have found helpful. :)

You are not alone. I was sleeved in 7/18. I am committed to healthy eating but I do feel like I'm missing old friends.

I made the decision to see a counselor who specializes in eating disorders. It helps a lot.

I felt the same way about Protein shakes. Everyone raves about Premiere shakes. I hated those and most other shakes. After drinking them for months, my tastes have adapted and I actually kind of like them now. Granted, I still drink them because I have to however I no longer dread them.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
