Thank you so much everyone! I wish I had time to reply to everyone individually. These replies make me feel much more confident for my initial appointment on Tuesday. I've used appetite suppressant rx drugs before with limited results while on them. I'm on them now but not feeling results so that has me worried. But I'm thinking my dose isn't high enough because I was 190 last time I took them vs 260 now.

Thank you for your advice! I think one of my problems is that I feel hungry more frequently than I think is normal. I feel obsessed with food because I think about it so much because I'm hungry even after I eat. I'm seeing a therapist next week so hopefully that will help.

Sorry I'm not sure how to quote. I'm only 6 months post partum so I haven't been on a strict diet in the past 12 months because of breastfeeding. Will that be a problem?

Hello. This is my first post and first time on here. A thousand apologies if I am in the incorrect forum or am breaking etiquette rules. I am considering surgery but posting in here because my question is for people who have already had surgery. One of my big concerns about surgery is what eating afterwards will be like. Im only 26. Will it make my social life weird forever if going out to eat is difficult? I admit I feel pretty addicted to food the though of never having a "real" full meal again scares me. If you had any of these thoughts, was the weight loss worth the sacrifice of eating like you used to? Thank you. Again, sorry if I posted incorrectly.

Thank you so much for the replies everyone. I appologize in the delay of my reply, I'm still trying to figure out my way around the forum. I have my initial consultation on Tuesday! Does anyone have any advice for that appointment? Things to say/not to say etc...

Thank you for the replies everyone. I am 260lb and 5'5. I have made an appointment to see a psychologist this week to discuss my issues with food. Did any of you all have family members who objected to surgery? My dad does and I'm very cost to him. He thinks it's "lazy" and "unnecessary."
