Hi hun sorry to hear your struggling, your habits were built up over many years and it will take some time (hopefully not years) to change the way we think and act with food. I do feel for you and I know that when people say to me surgery is the easy option it so is not because you still have a hard job to do just different. I am sure once you get your first fill you will be so much better just hang on in there and dont beat yourself up so much....(((hugs))) Linda x

At least thats something if your picking healthy foods, a few weeks time and with your fill and you will get your head around it until then come moan to us....it helps me too as I will know what to expect if and when I get my op.....Linda x

Hi serenity, you've got to remember that it will take a long time to break life long eating habits. i even now forget and will scoff my food down and then bring it all back up! Don't know what the easy answer is really think we need to accept that the eating is a psychological issue to overcome as well as the eating itself. good luck hun and if you find an answer let me know xx
