Welcome to the forum, we all have/have had issues with food and there will be someone going through/or will understand exactly what you are feeling/dealing with. So do make sure you share as people can provide a lot of support. For the comfort food you need to find things to replace the food - to break the habit of reaching for food as an emotional crutch. This is why the psychological support/counselling is such an important part of this journey - surgery alone may not be successful - it operates on our stomachs but not our heads. Understanding that is a big part of this journey.

Ditto... I now realise the way to build self worth is to care for me.. I cleanse and moisturise, look after feet bought a pedi thing. Eating healthier and the op are part of this self care. When were down we tend to neglect ourselves and overeat.
