I am a lot like you! Before surgery, I went into this crazy "last bad meal" syndrome, would sabotage myself for eating good all day and feel terrible after. I'm only 1 week post-op and went through minor complications but I can tell you, you will lose much of your desire to eat (any desire you get will merely be head hunger). Ghrelin is gone and you will feel connected with your stomach more than ever. Whenever I have random cravings now, I just take a deep breath (sounds silly, but my therapist actually recommended this) and then, I say to myself, "I am in control now!"

Judy you will be OK just remember that food is not your friend so you will have to break up with him/her in the near future. If you have this problem when you are sleeved then you will have a big issue with your food addiction and it will be time to panic/worry. It is still possible to get in 1700 with your new sleeve also if you eat foods like cheesecake and ice cream, what we call slider foods. Yes you can gobble up a 1/2 gallon of ice cream in one sitting so be careful.
