Sounds like you did well to get through that. I'm sorry that you deal with this in your marriage. I would recommend counseling to talk about stress eating. Here's a good article too. Stay strong and safe!

I will look into counseling for myself... prob refer back to the therapist during preop work up.

Thank you for link....

It sounds like you found the answer yourself...you were upset...recognized what was going on...were tempted to eat ...but instead let yourself feel the emotions ...cried...and chose an appropriate response of walking and regrouped...and you even reached out for online support....you could have just responded in an unhealthy way by eating through it..but you didn't! You did amazing job handling the stress and should be proud of yourself!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
