Welcome to the forums and I'm wishing you nothing but the very best.
I don't have advice but can share I struggled with food addiction and then realized the reason I thought I ate was for a myriad of reasons, from boredom to even happiness. I've done just about every diet known to man, each time gaining more when I couldn't stay on the plan. But after a lot of hard work I feel it got much better.
And still, I feel like you do sometimes , hoping this will really help. I also had paloric stenosis, so it feels like my stomach has had it in for me since the beginning.
The only thing I can say is maybe plan for any cravings with healthy alternatives. Take it one day at a time and don't be hard on yourself when accidents happen. Chill [emoji4]
I'm really pulling for you! Here's to a new beginning and many blessings for your journey.

Thanks so much! I'm working on finding foods I like that are better for me but also satisfying. What do you like?

Lorna, you are thinking too much. Chill and relax your energy is all over the place. Being afraid of the unknown will lead you to a far place that has no tunnel. Guide your body like it's a light shift ahead when necessary but fix it on something showstopping. You can do just relax o.k.

Are you saying I'm still a maniac? Lol jk, I know I am. I'm very up and down and anxious. Will try to relax.

Welcome and stay in touch with your bariatric team during the entire process. Yoga dvds might be an exercise you should try, or guided imagery meditation. I cannot give advice on the eating disorders but can suggest reading Geneen Roth's books.

Good luck.
