You're not a nut, you're in the same boat as a lot of us, but battling emotional eating will be a part of your life post-op, just as it is now. It never completely goes away, but we CAN succeed permanently. It's just a matter of not giving up the fight! The WLS waiting process can be long, confusing, stressful, and frustrating, but the end result is worth it. Don't give up, and don't give in (to eating binges, despair, etc.). My 14 months from WLS decision to surgery date seemed to take forever, yet I'm now 16 months post-op, and the time has flown by as I enjoy all the blessings of my renewed life...

Best wishes to you!
