There a few issues that we have and one of them is food related.  Carbs help with serotonin production, and since post op we are on a limited carbs intake - eventually some of us experience the depression.  Maybe part of our food addiction was "food self medicated depression"? and once we cut down on the food, the depression shows her really ugly head? not sure.  

I know that I am on Lexapro, and it helps with some level of depression.  
Not that I advertise the drugs, but.... there was imbalance in my brain before that prevented me from losing weight and maintaining - so ... I am willing to try a different approach this time.  

My suggestion is for you to try to find a psych who specializes in addictions.  Food addiction, other addictions.  Maybe your insurance can pay for that?
If not, it it sill less than a one "good" shopping spree (i know that from experience) and it may really help you.  They may also recommend some 'happy" pills to help you with filling a void of food addiction.  

Yea I'm not sure if going to SA meetings and being surrounded by men would benefit me, thats like going to AA and it being held in a bar.... hmmm

Hi Lynn, I'm originally from Denham! I just moved to BR to be closer to work, haha considering moving to watson though cause I miss LP so much!

ANYWAYS, yeah mine is Shopping and Sex..... It's a really REALLY hard battle it is seriously worse than anything I've ever had to deal with before and I just dont know what to do. They dont have support groups for this as far as I know?

I was wondering if anyone was experiencing any cross addictions since having WLS? I believe I am experincing them and it's kind of scarey to me.
