I'VE TOTALLY FAILED MYSELF IN LOSING weight... lost 110lbs total.. but since Dec 2016 I'VE put back on 45lbs... CANNOT seem to grasp my emotions.. taking care of my 74yr old MOM since Nov last year.. whom was diagnosed with stage 3 uterine cancer... depression.. anxiety disorder (since death of my younger brother 2011) I'M ALWAYS STRESSED OUT. and find myself ALWAYS STRESS EATING... crying in middle of day out of nowhere... TRYING TO GET HOLD OF EVERYTHING BUT afraid I stretched out my pouch BEYOND control..

@kimmbo sounds like you have had a lot of things tugging at you. God bless your family. I can’t imagine going through that.
Your not a failure. Like most of us on here ( some won’t admit it [emoji51]) but, we eat when we are stressed. I had my sleeve done 12/2/14. Believe me, I wish I had the swelling back! Lol
I emotionally eat, Ive currently gone off the beaten path and have bad food choice days ( more often than not).
If you have time, seek out a good councilor who specializes in food addiction or just addiction in general.
I have one and it helps. Not for everyone, but, between the passing of your brother and your poor Mum being sick it wouldn’t hurt right? For me, having an outlet, time away from my stresses is a huge relief.
I wish I had more to say. Let’s hop on the same boat and ride this river together.
Your not a failure..... your human[emoji173]️

      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.
