Had first meeting with a counselor to deal with my emotional eating/food addiction. First words out of her mouth were "you know weight loss surgery doesn't really work, right? You'll gain all the weight back. You should join Weight Watchers and a gym instead. Weight Watchers has a much higher success rate"...yeah, i don't think she's the counselor for me. Her advice for how to manage stress/emotional times without turning to food - simply don't eat. How to find a counselor who takes emotional eating seriously?

my nutritionist at the surgeon's office is fantastic. It's finding a counselor/therapist who recognizes food addiction/emotional eating as real issues and can help you deal with them that is proving dang near impossible. The psych's that are part of the surgeon's office (the ones who do the final psych eval for surgery clearance) don't accept insurance so I've been trying to find one that does...but I may just decide to use one of them and self pay at least for a while since they will at least have experience with bariatric patients.
