Thoughts, experience and opinions welcomed. I have been reading up on this lately and am curious about this. I wish I had known about this before I went to my psych. evaluation just to ask questions about this. I don’t have an addictive personality. But I do love to eat.
You can get lots of info online about this subject. I think awareness is half the battle. It's important to keep our eyes open to traps like this. Your support group, if your surgeon has one, can invite a psych to speak on the topic.
I have done extensive research into this, even went to counseling on it this past summer and I've not had any problems. I agree that awareness will keep us from going off the deep end with something else.
Keep well,
Diane
