The only way I have ever heard of anyone successfully dealing with binge eating is through ... (wait for it, you know it's coming!) ... therapy.
I urge you to find an experienced therapist who can help you change your behavior in this regard.
FTR, I am no kinda expert in binge eating. So beyond the advice to find a good therapist, I don't have any other tips.
Oh -- except for one thing: I will warn you that you couldn't pick a WORSE time in the WLS timeline to be binge-eating. Your tummy is still held together with staples. It is very, very far from being healed up. Your next binge-eating episode could wind up busting your staple line. And if that happened, binge-eating would be the least of your problems, since you'd be living on a pic line and unable to take anything at all by mouth.
Good luck to you.
