Replacing food with....sex?



Recommended Posts

I was bothered by a conversation I had with a person who had the VSG. He said that once your comfort (food) is taken away you will find other things to fill that spot. It's mental and usually it's lust or sex. That one you start to feel good about yourself you start to lean towards that comfort of attention and the advances which then leads you to other things. I don't think this is true with everyone! I have read in here where some people have started cheating etc and it seemed like it was after the sleeve. Thoughts?

there can be many cross addictions, shopping, gambling, drinking etc it all depends on the person. Not everyone has this problem

I've heard many people who have had surgery take up a different addiction now that their food addiction is changed

Bull f**king s**t.

He just told you what HIS experience was. That is all.

It makes me nuts when someone on a WLS board assumes their experience is a universal experience and then broadcasts "their truth" to everyone in the world.

This is NOT a universal experience.

Sheesh!

I don't think this is true for every. Single. Person. But it does happen!!!

My surgeon warned us of this in the group session before our process started. He said to deal with your emotional reasons for eating because if you don't, you will turn to other addictions once food is no longer your emotional support.

It happens and it's scary but it's not 100% guaranteed. You are the one who decides what choices you make.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
