So this may come as a shocker to people but I'm a recovering food addict...yes probably the hardest thing I've done since giving birth. So since being sleeved ice lost 45lbs since August 12- so happy with that. But since I don't have a go to our a fall back relationship with food I've became depressed. I had my first real panic attack last night(so scary). My husband has no clue how do he can't relate or even support me. Why do I feel so lonely. I mean I can cross my legs now..even in that retrospect I should feel like a million bucks. My kids make me the best I am right now. I sometimes want a divorce I sometimes want to binge eat like no other. I know the best thing is counciling. But I don't have the time. I think about working out all the time but I don't...so...now what...oh and I pray alot..is it only in time..

So sorry for what you are going through! I feel somewhat like that too, I am/was an emotional eater. My sister and I joked about it last week, I ate when I was depressed, happy, angry, sad, etc...so really I just ate. So now what do I do. Drink (water for now). I hope you find your replacement soon. PS I just started back to the gym and it has helped my attitude.

Sounds like you really need to talk to someone. Try to find sometime to squeeze it in.

There are some things only a professional can help us with.

You've done great so far, don't sabotage yourself. Stick with it and try to find someone way talk with a professional. If you binge, you know you will only feel worse and then the spiral begins.

Reach out.

Best wishes..

      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.
