Were you a food addict before surgery?

For those who have had weight loss surgery, I am curious if you felt that you were a "food addict"? Did you ever hide or lie about your eating? Did you ever persist in overeating even though you knew it was having a negative impact on your health or relationships? If you do think you were a food addict, do you still consider yourself (post-operatively) a food addict, do you now (post-operatively) seek to return to some concept of "normal" eating or do you believe that as an "addict" you need to practice perpetual avoidance of certain foods and behaviors? Thanks for your insights.
