Can you give a little background please?

Where did you have the surgery?

Did they have a NUT to support you?

Are you eating Protein first?

Are you having slider foods?

How much Water are you drinking in a day?

If you are under the care of a team you should get in touch with them and tell them so they can help.

Good luck!

Are you seeing a psychologist or attending a support group? Face to face, not just online. My surgery isn't until Wednesday, but I will be using both of those to help me transition to a healthier attitude about food.

Identify healthy choices and have nothing else around. Find some behaviour to do when the urges come to redirect you. You can't extinguish a behavior without replacing it with another. I'm going to try some deep breathing, stretching and/or Bible verse affirmations when the time comes.

You are sabotaging yourself. Deep down could you view yourself as unworthy of being happy and healthy? That's a lie. You are a beautiful creation, fearfully and wonderfully made. God desires good things and joy in your life. Let a psychologist help you with these feelings.

Are you having a hard time letting go of what you feel has been your best friend? That is another lie. Food is not a friend. It is fuel to help your body stay and get healthy. The sleeve is going to help you regain control over food and no longer be enslaved. You have to be willing to feel the emotions you've been trying to hide from.

I sound so strong on these points because I've been saying them to myself for weeks. I know I am a candidate to be right where you are. I'm writing down all the great things I'll be able to do once I get healthy. I'll have it ready to read when those challenges come. Neither you nor I want to find ourselves in a position of... not just regaining weight, but having to deal with the regret, self loathing, and hopelessness that would bring.

We can do this! I'll be praying for you.

Once again, sorry for the rant.
