I completly understand picking up a bad habit, mine.... Anorexia & bulemia :( I am in therapy & working really hard on it though.

I also luv to shop & buy new clothes. In addition to the fact that I enjoy getting dressed & looking nice on my days off, I'm a nurse so I wear scrubs @ work. Now I do my hair, makeup, & wear something nice & put together even if I have nothing to do. Whereas before I lived in yoga pants & tshirts!

Mine new addiction is clothes shopping! My closet shows it! I guess its better than food. I try to keep away from the stores as much as possible. I think that anyone, and myself included, that has an addictive personality should seek help. Good luck! Karen

I've been spending a lot of time playing video games to keep my hands busy and my mouth empty.

I read an article the other day that talked about this addiction tranference and the Lap band and most people who were once addicted to food incorporated gambling, alcohol, and extreme shopping to their life style to trade one addiction for the other. I have to say that I do buy a lot of clothes but Its my reward. Im not making us broke over it but I do love buying clothes.

I remember an old Dr. Oz show, he suggested playing video games as a way to help lose weight! This was before the WII and the Kinnect type games. Anyway back to the subject, My nutrisionist said she had a Patient who said they were having a problem with trying not to drink (alcohol) to much, so I think, it is true, you have to be careful not to trade one addiction for another. Mine may be this support group!

Shopping and Sex! Shopping because I can fit into a size 12, as opposed to pre-surgery, where I couldn't fit my legs into a size 18. And sex because I just feel better about myself. I cannot wait for my man to come home ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
