Hi Stephanie and all,
I had my gastric bypass surgery June 8, 1998. I went from one addiction to another. I'm ashamed to say...I never thought I was addicted to food...but I was and am. Now I can't eat ... and I've traded that addiction to alcohol. I never considered myself an addict, but I am. I'm sure the reason I have stopped losing is because of the alchohol. Speaking for myself, gastric bypass helped me, but it didn't cure the psychological issues that I am still dealing with. I'm a work in progress. I want to make major changes, just admitting that I'm an addict, is so upsetting. I never would have imagined that I would switch one addiction for another.
Love to all & Blessings,
Juli

Subject: [After Weight Loss Surgery] Desparate for help...
Hello everyone.
>
> I am in desparate need of help and advise. I had gastric bypass
surgery on April 18, 2008. After one year I had lost 108 pounds. I still
have 60 pounds to go before I reach my goal weight. About four months
ago I went through a severe depressive episode. I secluded myself in my
house and pushed my friends away. I didn't want them to know. During
this time my Grandmother become very ill and passed away on July 16,
2009. During this time, I developed an addiction to McDonalds. I go
there at least once a day and order a double cheeseburger, fries and a
Diet Coke. If I go there at night, I order an extra three cheesburgers
to eat in the morning, or in some cases in the middle of the night. I am
so scared. What is happening to me. Both parents have recently mentioned
that they can tell I am gaining weight. Of course when they bring it up,
I am horrified. This is breaking my heart as my parent paid for the
surgery. I used to be so discipled in cooking at least three meals and
measuring out my portion. Back in February I joined Narcotics Anonymous
because I developed an addiction to prescription pain medicine.
Yesterday was my 6 month anniversary for remaining clean. I wish I could
be proud of myself for that accomplishment. But really, it feels like I
have substituted one drug for another.
