I believe I've got my emotions worked out and feel mentally healthy, but I still have a eating problem.
Input?

09/17 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
In a letter to a friend, AA co-founder Bill W. wrote, "I don't think happiness or unhappiness is the point. How do we meet the problems we face? How do we best learn from them and transmit what we have learned to others, if they would receive the knowledge? In my view, we of this world are pupils in a great school of life. It is intended that we try to grow, and that we try to help our fellow travelers to grow in the kind of love that makes no demands... When pain comes, we are expected to learn from it willingly, and help others to learn. When happiness comes, we accept it as a gift, and thank God for it." CAN I ACCEPT BOTH PAIN AND HAPPINESS WILLINGLY?
TODAY I PRAY
God, please help me remember that everything that happens to me has its worth, including the misery of addiction. May I believe that even my dependency was part of God's Grand Scheme to bring me to Him.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
All that I am is all that has happened to me.

121 days here.....still working on making amends....But, that is going to take me - the rest of my life for some people who chose to remain by myside despite my faults and addiction and horrid behaviors towards them.
Have a great and sober week.

I had VSG and have depression now, my brother had rny 3 years ago and he has depression. but he as a wife for support. I have to do what i can..
Just got back from SD! A little back ground. Met Mr right there 24 Years ago, after being stationed there years. He Native WV, I am Native NY/Kingston Canada both and our son is a true red native of SD and was born after the filming of Dances with Wolves. _ Many stories to tell but none as important as the one that brought me back to this post.
I thought I was becoming intolerent of all of my medications so I said " What the heck, why not stay a couple what could it hurt I was in hell at that point any who? OMG how wrong was I!"
I almost didn't make it home with out having a nervous breakdown. Halfway through the trip I had to call the doctor back home to ask "what was happening to me, I found out there was more scarring on the brain one side from the TIA's or strokes I have had, and one major stroke and many and much more scarring from my seizures. I kept this to myself for several days, then the slurring and other symptoms became more evident. So I took every second with my four grandsons and enjoyed them to the fullest.
I am home now, we got home on the 25 th of August. I slept until I got to see my Doctor. I have seen him, one of his associates or a PA or at worse ended up in ER because no one can help me with my migrianes. MY Neurologist retired, and we are having a horrible time finding a new one that is acceptable because as with anyone who is going to work for me yes for me, I am going to interview! So far, I have one who will not see Adults with seizures- which makes him an A$$ and the other one gives no feed back what so ever so I don't know it I even have a pulse.
I am not ready to give up!

It is true there is estrogen stored in the fat and when men lose alot quickly the body is flooded with it. This in turn plays HELL on men as you can understand. One min we happy one min we are a blubbering mess and the next mad as hell about what ?? I dont know .
This is what I went through . Went to the Dr was told it will pass.
If there were problems with depression before hand , or pre WLS then seek pro help. Hope this helped .
good health and best wishes
Nick ( PS it did go away and am back to normal as normal as I ever was LOL )
