hello i need some help i don't know what to do

so i was so ready to get this surgery and i went to a couple apointments only needed a couple more but when i went to the psycologist she told me since i am a compulsive eater and i have anxiety that she thinks i need to work on my mind some but she said she wont deny me for the surgery

so for the past week in a half i been eating less and did manage to lose 6 pounds but i keep feeling like i want to binge cause im so starving and yes i am eating i eat probally 1700 calories a day and im working out im just soo hungry i hate it and i feel like if i don't get this surgery im going to be right where i am next year sitting here still big wishing i had it cause i need it to help me with my hunger

but i also did something stupid and didnt call to calcel my appointments i just never showed up and i think the nutritionist was pretty mad cause she left me a message but i was soo tired and over slept to call in

so what should i do ? should i still pursue it i really want to cause its not that i want to binge but i want to eat cause im starving and i know if i keep on this im only going to end up bingeing and that is not what i want i need something that will make me feel full

im really confused right now

Only you know what is really right for you. I would suggest you get the band as it will be a tool to help you with your hunger, not feel so hungry and make you feel full faster when you are eating. From the sounds of it, these are all things you need help with. If you're having anxiety that causes you to eat, you would do well with a tool that helps you stop. Yes most of this is a mental battle, but in the meantime, you'll have some backup while you win that mental fight. Reschedule and go back in.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
