Did you expect that your eating issues would go away after WLS?  Have you seen a counselor?  WLS will make your stomach into a pouch so you can be satisfied with smaller amounts of food.  However, it does nothing to treat eating issues.  WLS can fail if you don't deal with whatever caused you to become morbidly obese in the first place.
Find a therapist that works with WLS patients.  You might find an OA meeting and see how you like it.  The support is great.  
In the mean time go back to basics, protein first, lot's of fluids, avoid refined carbs, keep your portions small and keep any trigger foods out of your house.  If you fill up with protein you should be satisfied and not have any room for other things.
Good luck to you.

I had bypass ten years ago, get a handle on it now, or you will regret it later. I have gained 85 lbs, and am seeking a revision. I say see a therapist, something I was never able to do as I divorced two years into my surgery and had no insurance for 3 more years after that. I was ashamed of my weight gain and didn't seek help. I finally mustered up the courage to go and see a surgeon about options to get my life back on track. I will be scheduling to meet with a therapist as well this time.  I always hated hearing "WLS is just a tool" but, it is true.

Talk to your surgeon about seeing a psycologist that is familiar with food disorders and WLS.  We have a psychologist on board at my WLS clinic
