Has anyone gone back to their therapist ...

due to head hunger or food cravings returning. I'm 7 1/2 months post op and I've noticed a return of cravings for things I should not be eating. It's the sugar free version anyway, but even though it is causing me physical problems (that stuff has a laxative effect, if you know what I mean) I can't seem to make myself say no. I'm scared. I do NOT want to fall back in to old patterns ... eating when I'm bored, alone, sad, etc. Do you think returning to my psych. evaluation therapist to discuss whatever is causing this will help? I've read anti-depressents can help. Has anyone been prescribed Prozac or anything to help with these issues? I'm still using my protein powders and getting that in, and the water, but for the last week or sugar free cookies, candy has been a big part of my food consumption. I'm not physically hungry ever, so I know it's not that. I need advice. Yes, I KNOW I need to stop, so don't bother telling me that part. I know, I know. I just want opinions from people who've been where I am now. Thanks.
