I forgot to mention when I came back to this site they had started a recipe forum and I found it to be helpful with meal planning and ideas as all seem to be low carb and high protein check it out when you have time https://www.obesityhelp.com/bariatric-recipes/
I was able to get meal ideas and get back on track.
It is so easy to get complacent the further we get out. I got there and it was so difficult to get back on track at first. Im doing much better now, I do plan meals and try to keep carbs to veggies but I do agree with another reply, therapy to help deal with stress and anxiety are necessary. I've done better with it and I feel like I can manage my emotional eating better as well.
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.
I had my surgery in 2015 I was close to 300 pounds. I lost the weight and was doing great. I am on numerous medications for anxiety and bipolar that just adds the weight on. I am not a saint I am eating things that I should not eat. I currently weigh 192 pounds and I need to get back on track.
I love the Pure Protein drinks adn I am using them in the am and pm. Any advice for meal plans anyone has to share? I am eating due to stress. I am not hungry but when the stress starts I run to the kitchen.
I suggest you check into therapy to help you leArn to deal with stress snd anxiety.
stress snd anxiety are always going to be pare of life.
Learning tools to help you deal with them is the best advice I can offer.
No food plan is going to work if you do nt deal with that first.
It's a great day to be alive. 
My excellent and very caring young surgeon, Dr, Patikh advised
1) Stay connected with your bariatric surgeons team over the years and always get your labs done and thoroughly analyzed every six months to catch and remedy any deficiencies as early as possible.
2) Develop and regularly attend a post- op support group with fellow bariatric patients to see what works well and to receive emotional support for what may be huge life changes.
3) Commit to daily gentle exercise and the menu and portion size changes suggested by your nutritionist.
4) Get therapy for the underlying causes for your overeating... and come back for recommendations for body contouring surgery after you've successfully maintained goal weight for a year or more .

Decide to do this for yourself. Until then, you're likely not ready to change.
I was looking at my closet today and considering whether I will ever wear my pre-pandemic clothes with zippers, snaps, buttons, and belts. I have gotten very comfortable in leggings and t-shirts or sweats. I got rid of any shoes that are not totally comfortable and kept a few pairs of heels in case of an occasion when sneakers are not acceptable.
