I found individual talk therapy, monthly group discussions with my bariatric surgeons fellow patients and even twelve step groups like Overeaters Anonymous and H.O.W... to be very instructive and helpful .
Through listening to others share I learned about emotional and bored overeating I didn't want to admit to myself ... and I also learned tried and real ways of coping such as making a list of ten things that relax you that don't involve calories or food ( and then engaging in as many of those activities as you can before you break down and overeat .
I think it's absolutely key. New coping strategies have to be developed, plus with all the change you under go, it's good to have someone to work with on any issues that pop up.

What a fun question and so interesting to see people are doing. I don't count mty macros anymore I now just keep my calories between 1000-1100 and my carbs below 60. I had surgery in 2010 and after a bout of regain I decided to cut certain foods out and its helped.
I am currently 9 months post-op, so still in the active weight loss period. My goal is around 900 kcals, >70gm protein, I try to keep my carbs

I aim for 1200 calories, 80g of protein. I'm 17.5 years out and 59 years old, it's really difficult to keep my weight in check.
I weigh myself every day and log everything that passes my lips into MyFitnessPal every day.
Not gonna lie, it's hard to maintain my weight.

It's good to have goals and to try and stick with them. First time in my life I am doing so. My daily goals are 900-1000 calories, 75-100 grams of protein, 70 grams of carbs and 20 grams of fat (hard one for me).
Thank you. yes. I am doing therapy 2X week. It's been a struggle. Medication and therapy does help but not to the point where I can manage the binge habits.
that's great to heSr. It takes time but it does work. You might visit WWW.theworldsccordingtoeggface.com. She is a bariatric patient who develops recipes for every stage of bariStric eating.
I don't always meet my daily goals but I am trying!
My daily goals are:
1000 calories 100 grams protein 15 grams fat 90 grams carbsI really only count protein because i struggle so much with it. I need at least 80 protein to stay mentally alert but also generally keep my carbs under 50.
unfortunately, for me, it's the only way to maintain
